Hidden symmetries and nonlinear constitutive relations for tight-coupling heat engines
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Typical heat engines exhibit a kind of homotypy: the heat exchanges between a cyclic heat engine and its two heat reservoirs abide by the same function type; the forward and backward flows of an autonomous heat engine also conform to the same function ...

Application of Stirling Engine Type Alpha Powered by the Recovery Energy on Vessels
Polish Maritime Research, 2020 The Stirling engine is a device in which thermal energy is transformed into mechanical energy without any contact between the heat carrier and the working gas enclosed in the engine. The mentioned feature makes this type of engine very attractive for the

The Thermodynamics of Heat Engines [PDF]
Nature, 1903 THIS is a very good specimen of that sort of book which is an amplification of the lecture notes of a professor who has carefully prepared problems for students. We may not always like the way in which he introduces the subject to his pupils, and we may say that it is unphilosophical and even cryptic, and sometimes too brilliant, but such comments are ...

A single-atom heat engine [PDF]
Science, 2016 Making a teeny tiny engine Steam locomotives, cars, and the drinking bird toy all convert heat into useful work as it cycles between two reservoirs at different temperatures. Usually, the working substance where the heat-work conversion occurs is a liquid or a gas, consisting of many molecules. Roβnagel et al.
