From the elastocaloric effect towards an efficient thermodynamic cycle
In recent years, elastocaloric cooling technology has been considered as one of the most promising alternatives to vapor compression technology. Given that elastocaloric technology is only in the early stages of development, a uniform method for ...

A thermodynamic cycle for the solar cell [PDF]
A solar cell is a heat engine, but textbook treatments are not wholly satisfactory from a thermodynamic standpoint, since they present solar cells as directly converting the energy of light into electricity, and the current in the circuit as maintained by an electrostatic potential.

Thermodynamic analysis of the Stirling cycle
Abstract The thermodynamic analysis of the Stirling cycle presented here accounts for the effects of two important design parameters, namely dead space and imperfect regeneration. The definition of the refrigerating efficiency introduced here ensures a fruitful comparison of cycle performance with dead volume and without dead volume.

Two-Stroke Thermodynamic Cycle Optimization of a Single-Cylinder Free-Piston Engine Generator
A free-piston engine generator (FPEG) is a new type of energy converter, which eliminates the crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism. In order to achieve efficient energy conversion, the two-stroke thermodynamic performance optimization of a single ...

Quantum Maxwell's demon in thermodynamic cycles [PDF]
We study the physical mechanism of Maxwell's Demon (MD) helping to do extra work in thermodynamic cycles, by describing measurement of position, insertion of wall and information erasing of MD in a quantum mechanical fashion. The heat engine is exemplified with one molecule confined in an infinitely deep square potential inserted with a movable solid ...

Thermodynamic cycles in the stratosphere [PDF]
<p>Large-scale overturning mass transport in the stratosphere is commonly explained through the action of potential vorticity (PV) rearrangement in the flank of the stratospheric jet. Large-scale Rossby waves, with their wave activity source primarily in the troposphere, stir and mix PV and an overturning circulation arises to compensate ...
