Performance analysis of a retrofitted refrigerator using eco-friendly refrigerant [PDF]
The Holistic Approach to Environment, 2023 The use of refrigerants with a global warming potential (GWP) greater than 150 is banned in small and medium-sized refrigerators in accordance with the European F-Gas policy. Therefore, the suitability of retrofitting an existing refrigerator using a low

Quantum Advantage of Thermal Machines with Bose and Fermi Gases
Entropy, 2023 In this article, we show that a quantum gas, a collection of massive, non-interacting, indistinguishable quantum particles, can be realized as a thermodynamic machine as an artifact of energy quantization and, hence, bears no classical analog.

Measurement-Based Quantum Thermal Machines with Feedback Control
Entropy, 2023 We investigated coupled-qubit-based thermal machines powered by quantum measurements and feedback. We considered two different versions of the machine: (1) a quantum Maxwell’s demon, where the coupled-qubit system is connected to a detachable single ...

Physical Review Letters, 2006 Onsager symmetry implies that a Brownian motor, driven by a temperature gradient, will also perform a refrigerator function upon loading. We analytically calculate the corresponding heat flux for an exactly solvable microscopic model and compare it with molecular dynamics simulations.
