Abstract: In contrast to the classical concept of a Carnot engine that alternates contact between heat baths of different temperatures, naturally occurring processes usually harvest energy from ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

In a current global scenario of geopolitical instabilities, retirement of coal assets and increasing interest in environmental responsibility, the various stakeholders of the energy sector are facing ...

Version of Record: This is the final version of the article. The preprint by Laganowsky and co-workers describes the use of mutant cycles to dissect the thermodynamic profile of specific lipid ...

This is an important biophysical study combining native mass spectrometry with mutant cycles to estimate the thermodynamic components of lipid A binding to the ABC transporter MsbA. Solid evidence ...

In Part 3 of this series, we examined several important issues for water/steam chemistry control in high-pressure conventional steam generators. But during the last two decades, as coal-fired power ...

The X-Engine technology used in the XTS-210 is a direct drive rotary approach that can be viewed as an "inverted" Wankel engine. It has a trochoidal rotor with a three-lobed housing, but it utilizes a ...

According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, cycles applied to thermodynamic equilibrium states cannot perform work (passivity property of thermodyamic equilibrium states). In the presence of matter ...

This isnt a technical issue, but a mechanic issue, the problem is, in short, that the ground feedwater pumps from the newest version, completely eliminate the need for the completion of the reactor ...

A quantum engine with n qubits performing thermodynamic cycles with two thermal reservoirs is presented. While such constructions have been aplenty, here we show the existence of what we term as ...
