Testing a Quantum Heat Pump with a Two-Level Spin
Once in its non-equilibrium steady state, a nanoscale system coupled to several heat baths may be thought of as a “quantum heat pump”. Depending on the direction of its stationary heat flows, it may function as, e.g., a refrigerator or a heat transformer. These continuous heat devices can be arbitrarily complex multipartite systems, and yet, their working principle is always the same: they are ...
متن کاملDetermining the optimal size of a ground source heat pump within an air-conditioning system with economic and emission considerations
One of the most challenging issues in modern-day building energy management involves equipping the buildings with more energy efficient facilities. In this paper, a hybrid system for cooling/heating for a residential building is developed and optimized. The system consists of a ground source heat pump (GSHP) as well as an electric chiller (EC) and boiler. The model is implemented in MATLAB ...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of irreversible cascaded refrigeration and heat pump cycles
This communication presents finite time thermodynamic optimization of irreversible cascaded refrigeration and heat pump cycles having source/sink thermal reservoirs of finite heat capacitance. A general expression for the optimum coefficient of performance of the refrigerator/heat pump is derived at minimum power input and given cooling/heating load conditions, respectively. External irreversib...
متن کاملEfficiency at maximum power output of linear irreversible Carnot-like heat engines.
The efficiency at maximum power output of linear irreversible Carnot-like heat engines is investigated based on the assumption that the rate of irreversible entropy production of the working substance in each "isothermal" process is a quadratic form of the heat exchange rate between the working substance and the reservoir. It is found that the maximum power output corresponds to minimizing the ...
متن کاملAdiabatic quantum pump of spin-polarized current.
We propose a mechanism by which an open quantum dot driven by two ac (radio frequency) gate voltages in the presence of a moderate in-plane magnetic field generates a spin-polarized, phase-coherent dc current. The idea combines adiabatic, nonquantized (but coherent) pumping through periodically modulated external parameters and the strong fluctuations of the electron wave function existent in c...
