A VERY useful account is given in this book, from an engineering point of view, of the application of thermodynamics to the theory of the steam engine, mechanical refrigeration, steam nozzles, steam ...

THE authors of this book have written a most stimulating version of the old song “Heat a Mode of Motion”, and written it, too, rather in the grand manner. Their arrangement of matter follows classical ...

“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 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 ...
