In an ideal case, this process would be perfectly reversible and the Carnot engine would have maximum efficiency. In reality, ...

Elon Musk has questioned the Universe's Carnot efficiency. His latest tweet currently confuses a lot of fans. Here are some possible explanations to answer your question.

The black dotted line shows the generalized Carnot limit for an engine interacting with a hot squeezed thermal bath. The results shown are performed at a temperature ratio of 0.88. Arxiv – Nanoscale ...

Microscopic Brownian Carnot engine Scientists develop a microscopic motor with a single particle, lasers and electric fields Date: October 27, 2015 ...

Although the Carnot cycle itself is impossible to realize, the `` Stirling engine '' devised by Robert Stirling, a pastor in Scotland in 1816, is known to be quite close to this Carnot cycle.

In 1824, French engineer Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot – known as the father of thermodynamics – proposed what is known as the Carnot engine, the most efficient engine which is theoretically ...

That efficiency breaks long-standing theoretical limit for the efficiency of a Carnot engine, though given how limited this engine is in application, that might not be too surprising.

Bengaluru researchers overcome Carnot limit, age-old thermodynamic puzzle solved with novel micro heat engine Practical heat engines are limited to a theoretical efficiency called the Carnot limit ...
