In this work, the relationship between Carnot engine and Szilard engine was discussed. By defining the available information about the temperature difference between two heat reservoirs, the Carnot engine was found to have a same physical essence with Szilard engine: lossless conversion of available information. Thus, a generalized Carnots theorem for wider scope of application can be described as all the available information is 100% coded into work.

In a classic thought experiment, Szilard suggested a heat engine where a single particle, for example an atom or a molecule, is confined in a container coupled to a single heat bath. The container can be separated into two parts by a moveable wall ac ting as a piston. In a single cycle of the engine, work can be extracted from the information on which side of the piston the particle resides. The work output is consistent with Landauers principle that the erasure of one bit of information costs the entropy kB ln 2, exemplifying the fundamental relation between work, heat and information. Here we apply the concept of the Szilard engine to a fully interacting quantum many-body system. We find that a working medium of a number of bosons (larger or equal two) with attractive interactions is clearly superior to other previously discussed setups. In sharp contrast to the classical case, we find that the average work output increases with the particle number. The highest overshoot occurs for a small but finite temperature, showing an intricate interplay between thermal and quantum effects. We anticipate that our finding will shed new light on the role of information in controlling thermodynamic fluctuations in the deep quantum regime, which are strongly influenced by quantum correlations in interacting systems.

In a recent paper [Vaikuntanathan and Jarzynski, Phys. Rev. E {bf 83}, 061120 (2011), arXiv:1105.1744] a model was introduced whereby work could be extracted from a thermal bath by measuring the energy of a particle that was thermalized by the bath a nd manipulating the potential of the particle in the appropriate way, depending on the measurement outcome. If the extracted work is $W_1$ and the work $W_{text{er}}$ needed to be dissipated in order to erase the measured information in accordance with Landauers principle, it was shown that $W_1leq W_{text{er}}$ in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics. Here we extend this work in two directions: First, we discuss how accurately the energy should be measured. By increasing the accuracy one can extract more work, but at the same time one obtains more information that has to be deleted. We discuss what are the appropriate ways of optimizing the balance between the two and find optimal solutions. Second, whenever $W_1$ is strictly less than $W_{text{er}}$ it means that an irreversible step has been performed. We identify the irreversible step and propose a protocol that will achieve the same transition in a reversible way, increasing $W_1$ so that $W_1 = W_{text{er}}$.

In 2009, it was shown that, with an original approach to hydrodynamic cavitation, a phenomenological model was realized in order to compute some of the physical parameters needed for the design of the most common technological applications (turbo-mac hinery, etc.) with an economical saving in planning because this analysis could allow engineers to reduce the experimental tests and the consequent costs in the design process. Here the same approach has been used to obtain range of some physical quantity for jet engine optimization.
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 temperatur es 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 beat time {tau}_{fpt} associated with the energy transfer between two coupled oscillators is dictated by the bandwidth theorem which sets a lower bound {tau}_{fpt}sim 1/{delta}{omega}. We show, both experimentally and theoretically, that two coup led active LRC electrical oscillators with parity-time (PT) symmetry, bypass the lower bound imposed by the bandwidth theorem, reducing the beat time to zero while retaining a real valued spectrum and fixed eigenfrequency difference {delta}{omega}. Our results foster new design strategies which lead to (stable) pseudo-unitary wave evolution, and may allow for ultrafast computation, telecommunication, and signal processing.
