The key to understanding the proposed LNG revaporization processes that follow is that the temperature difference between the heat source (a→a’) and the heat sink supplied by the liquid methane (1→4) ...

“We’ve developed the world’s smallest steam engine, or to be more precise the smallest Stirling engine, and found that the machine really does perform work,” said Clemens Bechinger, a physicist at the ...

The smaller the better, and in a world of fast-developing technology, that’s called innovation. Just this month, a desk-sized turbine capable of powering a small town was announced to be under ...

A thermodynamic analysis based on a pressure-time history measured during the combustion in a SI engine is a commonly used tool used for analyzing the combustion process. Both one-zone and two-zone ...

The quantum advantage: Coherent superposition in quantum heat engines can enhance power output over classical machines. Credit: iStock Traffic-Analyzer Heat engines have had a huge impact on everyday ...

Heat is animus. It was there at the birth of the universe, and its death will be the universe’s death. It is impossible to overstate its importance — both throughout human history and across modern ...
