Since most heat and heat-engine tests take a rather long time to carry out, the amount of information thus accumulated in the case of any one student can have only a limited scope, and the ...

A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% ...

While the engine itself is tiny, the machinery required to create the electromagnetic cone and suspend the two heating and cooling lasers takes up most of a room. Scientists have previously created ...

Looking for a cool science experiment to do with the kids? Why not build a type of heat engine that resembles a sunflower? [Steve] from Rimstar.org shows us how! It’s actually a pretty ingeni… ...

Engineers have developed a heat engine with no moving parts that is as efficient as a steam turbine. The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say.

Researchers from MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed an innovative heat engine that uses no moving parts, making a significant leap toward more efficient ...

A recent study led by Chinese scientists has challenged the hundreds-of-year-old myth that a heat engine can achieve both maximum power output and high efficiency. The approach defies the ...

Consequently, the spatially-averaged heat flux represents well the global heat transfer from the gas to the combustion chamber walls in the premixed HCCI engine, as confirmed through the gross heat ...

Hybrid cars are great examples of the approach. Another way to recover some of the energy converted into heat in the average engine is the Waste Heat Engine, or WHE.

Airthium’s heat engine offers a game-changing solution for industrial heat and power generation, as it can efficiently convert electricity to heat and vice versa at temperatures of up to 550°C.
