We propose a relativistic quantum Otto cycle between an entangled state of two qubits and their composite excited (or ground) whose efficiency can be greater than the usual single qubit engine. The hot cold reservoirs are constructed by providing uniform accelerations to these along with interaction background field individual qubits. efficiency, as measured from one qubits' frame, not only dep...

Otto Fuel II is a mixture of three component chemicals, propylene glycol dinitrate, 2-nitrodiphenylamine, and dibutyl sebacate. Otto Fuel II enters the environment as these three components, which partition to the different environmental media according to their individual chemical and physical properties. Otto Fuel II is primarily released to water in waste streams from Navy facilities that pr...

Who was Otto Cohnheim? It is no exaggeration to say that he was the man who laid the foundation of our present understanding of the absorption of protein digestion products and also protein metabolism-yet he remains forgotten. This is largely because he unfortunately became, like so many others, a victim of political enthusiasm. 1978 is the 25th anniversary of his death, a fitting time to try t...

Many models of heat engines have been studied with the tools of finite-time thermodynamics and an ensemble of independent quantum systems as the working fluid. Because of their convenient analytical properties, harmonic oscillators are the most frequently used example of a quantum system. We analyze different thermodynamical aspects with the final aim of the optimization of the performance of t...
