Abstract

A quantum Brayton engine using a massless Boson trapped in a one-dimensional potential well as a working substance has been constructed to be studied. We used a modified analogical model by the first law of thermodynamics for a quantum system implementation. The system was built with Klein Gordon equation, relativistic quantum mechanics Hamiltonian, without the mass term of the Hamiltonian and it was trapped in a one-dimensional potential well. Then, it underwent the quantum ideal Brayton cycle process. The quantum Brayton process consisted of adiabatic compression, isobaric expansion, adiabatic expansion, and isobaric compression processes. This relativistic quantum mechanics Brayton engine has found that the efficiency formulation was similar to the classical one. This study obtained the conformity results between the quantum relativistic and classical Brayton engines. By this cycle process, we also invented that the ratio of heat capacity under constant pressure and volume of the system was 2. It could indicate that the efficiency of quantum relativistic Brayton engine is higher than the classical one.

Relativistic quantum-mechanical Brayton engine of the massless boson particle confined in the square well

Fikri Abdillah, Yohanes Dwi Saputra

Quantum Brayton engine efficiency with the massless boson particle as a working substance has been investigated. The research method used is analogy modeling of the first law of classical thermodynamics which is implemented into the quantum systems. The quantum system used is the single massless boson particle trapped inside the two-dimensional symmetrical potential well as a replacement for the classic system is an ideal gas in a piston tube. By replacing the working substance from the classical system into a quantum system, the four processes that form the classic Brayton cycle (two isobaric processes and two adiabatic processes) can be constructed on the quantum system. The final result indicates that the quantum Brayton engine with boson particle has a higher efficiency value compared to the classic version, but is lower than that engine when the massless boson is replaced with nonrelativistic particles. This occurs because of differences in Laplace's constant value in the three systems.

Quantum Brayton engine based on a single particle in the 2D symmetric potential well

Fikri Abdillah, Agus Rifani, Yohanes Dwi Saputra

A Brayton engine is one of the heat engines that convert heat energy into mechanical work. This engine is often implemented on turbojet engines of airplanes and gas turbines. However, the efficiency of a classically Brayton engine still needs to be improved according to the second law of thermodynamics. This research presents a Brayton engine on 2D symmetric potential well. The used method is modeling analogy of the first law of thermodynamics and then it is implemented into a quantum system with the single-particle as a working substance. The primary result obtained is the efficiency formulation of a quantum Brayton engine for 2D symmetric potential well which is similar to the 1D quantum Brayton engine and the classical Brayton engine. Quantum Brayton engine in 2D has a higher efficiency compared to the 1D and the classical one.

Relativistic Quantum Brayton Engine Based on Two Non-Interacting Dirac Particles in a One-Dimensional Potential Well

Titis Qorin Nabila, Heru Sukamto, Agus Purwanto

A quantum heat engine converts heat into work based on the principles of quantum thermodynamics.This study investigates a quantum heat engine composed of two Dirac particles confined in a one-dimensional potential well. The potential well is limited to three discrete energy levels, and the two non-interacting Dirac particles are treated as identical. The system operates under a quantum Brayton cycle, consisting of isobaric and adiabatic processes. The total work output is calculated using the energy levels derived from the relativistic Dirac equation. The efficiency curve is obtained by plotting a theoretical expression as a function of the ratio LA/λ, where λ is the Compton wavelength. The efficiency increases monotonically with LA/λ, approaching an asymptotic maximum, and is further enhanced by larger values of the parameter α, which drive the engine toward near-optimal performance.

Quantum Heat Engines; Multiple-State 1D Box System

Eny Latifah, Agus Purwanto

We evaluate quantum Otto, Diesel and Brayton cycles employing multiple-state 1D box system instead of ideal gas filled cylinder. The work and heat are extracted using the change in the expectation of Hamiltonian of the system which leads to the first law of thermodynamics to quantum system. The first law makes available to redefine the force which is in fact not well defined in a quantum mechanical system and then it is applied to define the quantum version of thermodynamic processes, i.e. isobaric, isovolume and adiabatic. As the results, the efficiency of quantum Otto engine depends only on the compression ratio and will be higher than the efficiency of quantum Diesel which can decrease by the widening of expansion under isobaric process. The efficiency of quantum Brayton engine may reach maximum on certain combination between the wide of box under isobaric expansion and compression, under certain conditions. The amount of levels participated in the quantum heat engine system will potentially reduce the performance of the quantum heat cycles consisting isobaric process, but it can be resisted using isobaric process controller.

Quantum dual engine with working substance of a single particle inside the cubic potential

Yohanes Dwi Saputra

A dual engine with one particle in a three-dimensional symmetry potential well, as a quantum working fluid, has been modeled. This research is based on the possibility to enhance the efficiency of a classical dual engine based on the 1st law of thermodynamics. The quantum system used is a modified analogy from the classical thermodynamic system, which is the ideal gas in the piston cylinder. By assuming the ideal gas pressure as a potential wall mechanical force, the ideal gas volume as the width of the potential well, and the ideal gas temperature as the total energy expectation value for a single particle, a dual quantum engine can be built theoretically. The five processes that work on each classical dual cycle can be analogous to the quantum system. The result is the similarity thermal efficiency equation of a quantum dual engine and the classical one. Besides, the heat capacity ratio of the quantum dual engine is greater than the classical engine which causes the efficiency of the quantum version to outperform the classical version when it is in the same mechanical ratio conditions.

Efficiency of simple quantum engines: The Joule-Brayton and Otto cycles

Lev Guzmán-Vargas

Following the formalism of a quantum engine proposed by Bender et al. for a single particle of mass m confined to an infinite one‐dimensional potential well of width L. we construct the isobaric and isochoric quantum analogous processes in order to analyze the efficiency of two classical thermodynamic engines: The Joule‐Brayton and Otto cycles. We find that the efficiency are analogous to those obtained for classical engines.
