The physical aspects - mechanics and thermodynamics - of operation of martensite rotor heat engine (MRHE) on the basis of martensite-austenite structural phase transition with the transition temperature in the region of low-potential water temperatures have been studied. The engine converts the thermal energy of low-potential water into the elastic energy of working body (spring, ribbon or wire) made of the material with shape memory effect. At some simplifying assumptions, the analytical expressions are obtained for the thermal efficiency and the power of MRHE of different type. The registration of head hydraulic resistance and heat conductivity of working body material is made and the maximum value of power produced by the engine at the given mechanical and heat conditions is calculated. The recommendations are given on the optimal choice of engine parameters. On the basis of numerical estimations for nitinol, the possibility of application of MRHE is shown for efficient and ecologically pure production of electric energy both on local (geothermal waters, waste water of industrial enterprises, etc.) and global (warm ocean stream) scales.

The constraint relation for efficiency and power is crucial to design optimal heat engines operating within finite time. We find a universal constraint between efficiency and output power for heat engines operating in the low-dissipation regime. Such
constraint is validated with an example of Carnot-like engine. Its microscopic dynamics is governed by the master equation. Based on the master equation, we connect the microscopic coupling strengths to the generic parameters in the phenomenological model. We find the usual assumption of low-dissipation is achieved when the coupling to thermal environments is stronger than the driving speed. Additionally, such connection allows the design of practical cycle to optimize the engine performance.
We introduce a simple two-level heat engine to study the efficiency in the condition of the maximum power output, depending on the energy levels from which the net work is extracted. In contrast to the quasi-statically operated Carnot engine whose ef
ficiency reaches the theoretical maximum, recent research on more realistic engines operated in finite time has revealed other classes of efficiency such as the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency maximizing the power output. We investigate yet another side with our heat engine model, which consists of pure relaxation and net work extraction processes from the population difference caused by different transition rates. Due to the nature of our model, the time-dependent part is completely decoupled from the other terms in the generated work. We derive analytically the optimal condition for transition rates maximizing the generated power output and discuss its implication on general premise of realistic heat engines. In particular, the optimal engine efficiency of our model is different from the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency, although they share the universal linear and quadratic coefficients at the near-equilibrium limit. We further confirm our results by taking an alternative approach in terms of the entropy production at hot and cold reservoirs.
Quantum coherence has been demonstrated in various systems including organic solar cells and solid state devices. In this letter, we report the lower and upper bounds for the performance of quantum heat engines determined by the efficiency at maximum
power. Our prediction based on the canonical 3-level Scovil and Schulz-Dubois maser model strongly depends on the ratio of system-bath couplings for the hot and cold baths and recovers the theoretical bounds established previously for the Carnot engine. Further, introducing a 4-th level to the maser model can enhance the maximal power and its efficiency, thus demonstrating the importance of quantum coherence in the thermodynamics and operation of the heat engines beyond the classical limit.
Heat engines used to output useful work have important practical significance, which, in general, operate between heat baths of infinite size and constant temperature. In this paper we study the efficiency of a heat engine operating between two finit
e-size heat sources with initial temperature differences. The total output work of such heat engine is limited due to the finite heat capacity of the sources. We investigate the effects of different heat capacity characteristics of the sources on the heat engines efficiency at maximum work (EMW) in the quasi-static limit. In addition, we study the efficiency of the engine working in finite-time with maximum power of each cycle is achieved and find the efficiency follows a simple universality as $eta=eta_{mathrm{C}}/4+Oleft(eta_{mathrm{C}}^{2}right)$. Remarkably, when the heat capacity of the heat source is negative, such as the black holes, we show that the heat engine efficiency during the operation can surpass the Carnot efficiency determined by the initial temperature of the heat sources. It is further argued that the heat engine between two black holes with vanishing initial temperature difference can be driven by the energy fluctuation. The corresponding EMW is proved to be $eta_{mathrm{EMW}}=2-sqrt{2}$, which is two time of the maximum energy release rate $mu=left(2-sqrt{2}right)/2approx0.29$ of two black hole emerging process obtained by S. W. Hawking.
The trade-off between large power output, high efficiency and small fluctuations in the operation of heat engines has recently received interest in the context of thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs). Here we provide a concrete illustration of
this trade-off by theoretically investigating the operation of a quantum point contact (QPC) with an energy-dependent transmission function as a steady-state thermoelectric heat engine. As a starting point, we review and extend previous analysis of the power production and efficiency. Thereafter the power fluctuations and the bound jointly imposed on the power, efficiency and fluctuations by the TURs are analyzed as additional performance quantifiers. We allow for arbitrary smoothness of the transmission probability of the QPC, which exhibits a close to step-like dependence in energy, and consider both the linear and the non-linear regime of operation. It is found that for a broad range of parameters, the power production reaches nearly its theoretical maximum value, with efficiencies more than half of the Carnot efficiency and at the same time with rather small fluctuations. Moreover, we show that by demanding a non-zero power production, in the linear regime a stronger TUR can be formulated in terms of the thermoelectric figure of merit. Interestingly, this bound holds also in a wide parameter regime beyond linear response for our QPC device.
