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

Traveling-wave thermoacoustic refrigerator with curved and tapered surfaces to minimize streaming
Invention Disclosure, 2022 The present article describes a traveling-wave thermoacoustic refrigeration system driven by a thermoacoustic heat engine. The coupled engine-refrigerator system consists of a resonator tube, which the thermoacoustic engine and thermoacoustic ...

Algorithmic quantum heat engines [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2019 We suggest alternative quantum Otto engines, using heat bath algorithmic cooling with a partner pairing algorithm instead of isochoric cooling and using quantum swap operations instead of quantum adiabatic processes. Liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance systems in a single entropy sink are treated as working fluids.

Quantum Optomechanical Heat Engine [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 We investigate theoretically a quantum optomechanical realization of a heat engine. In a generic optomechanical arrangement the optomechanical coupling between the cavity field and the oscillating end-mirror results in polariton normal mode excitations whose character depends on the pump detuning and the coupling strength.

Quantum-dot heat engines with irreversible heat transfer
Physical Review Research, 2020 We study an endoreversible quantum heat engine in which the heat transfer between the baths is mediated by two qubits. Each qubit acts as an energy filter which allows for the conversion of heat into work.
