The quantum Carnot-like heat engine: The level degenerate case

Yang Yang Yuan, Qiang Gu

The two-level quantum heat engines have been studied extensively. Before that, the optimization of most heat engines was mainly concentrated in non-degenerate cases. We consider the level degeneracy, then calculate the maximum operation time and the irreversible dissipation coefficient of the two-level system under the scheme of linear tuned levels. In the high-temperature limit, we find that the level degeneracy affects the maximum power of the two-level heat engine. Especially in the case of the same degeneracy of the ground state and the excited state, the influence is the greatest. In addition, we also show that the degeneracy does not affect the efficiency at maximum power and the consistent relation of the two-level Carnot-like heat engine.

Quantum heat engine with identical particles and level degeneracy

H. W. Zhang, X. L. Huang, S. L. Wu

In this paper, the effects of identical particles and energy-level degeneracy on the work output of the quantum Otto and Stirling heat engines are studied. For quantum Otto heat engine, we find the effects of degeneracy in the ground state and in the excited state are same in the high-temperature limitation while the work done by a system with n-fold degeneracy in the excited state (ground state) is n ([Formula: see text]) times the one without degeneracy in the single-particle case. Moreover, the effects of the identical two-level systems with degeneracy in the ground state or excited state as working substances are discussed. The results of such problem for the Stirling and Carnot heat engines are similar. By analytical derivations in two limit conditions, we conclude that for the cycles which are composed of the quantum adiabatic process, isochoric process and isothermal process have similar results.
