Dissipative heat engine is thermodynamically inconsistent [PDF]
, 2009 A heat engine operating on the basis of the Carnot cycle is considered, where the mechanical work performed is dissipated within the engine at the temperature of the warmer isotherm and the resulting heat is added to the engine together with an external heat input.

Correlation-powered Information Engines and the Thermodynamics of Self-Correction [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 95, 012152 (2017), 2016 Information engines can use structured environments as a resource to generate work by randomizing ordered inputs and leveraging the increased Shannon entropy to transfer energy from a thermal reservoir to a work reservoir. We give a broadly applicable expression for the work production of an information engine, generally modeled as a memoryful channel ...

Experimental characterization of autonomous heat engine based on minimal dynamical-system model [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Research 2, 033146 (2020), 2019 The autonomous heat engine is a model system of autonomous nonequilibrium systems like biological cells, exploiting nonequilibrium flow for operations. As the Carnot engine has essentially contributed to the equilibrium thermodynamics, autonomous heat engine is expected to play a critical role in the challenge of constructing nonequilibrium ...

Lossless Brownian information engine [PDF]
Physical Review Letters 120, 020601 (2018), 2018 We report on a lossless information engine that converts nearly all available information from an error-free feedback protocol into mechanical work. Combining high-precision detection at resolution of 1 nm with ultrafast feedback control, the engine is tuned to extract the maximum work from information on the position of a Brownian particle.

Mechanics of Hip Dysplasia Reduction in Infants Using the Pavlik Harness: A Physics Based Computational Model [PDF]
, 2013 Biomechanical factors influencing the reduction of dislocated hips with the Pavlik harness in patients of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) were studied using a three-dimensional computer model simulating hip reduction dynamics in (1) subluxated ...

American Journal of Physics 87, 33 (2019), 2018 The Fluidyne is a two-part hot-air engine, which has the peculiarity that both its power piston and displacer are liquids. Both parts operate in tandem with the common working gas (air) transferring energy from the displacer to the piston side, from which work is extracted.

Single-Temperature Quantum Engine Without Feedback Control [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 96, 022108 (2017), 2017 A cyclically working quantum mechanical engine that operates at a single temperature is proposed. Its energy input is delivered by a quantum measurement. The functioning of the engine does not require any feedback control. We analyze work, heat, and the efficiency of the engine for the case of a working substance that is governed by the laws of quantum

Apparatus and Method of Fabricating Directional Fiber Optic Taps, Sensors and Other Devices with Variable Angle Output [PDF]
, 1996 An apparatus and method for fabricating directional fiber optic taps having a variety of output angles. The taps can be used to monitor losses due to misalignment of the fiber or losses due to bending and straining of the fiber.
