Extracting Work From A Single Heat Bath | | Arbab A. Khan

2 Dec 2004 | | Subject: | Chemical Physics | physics.chem-ph | | Affiliation: | Quaid-i-Azam University | | Abstract: | We present here a machine that is capable of extracting work from a single heat bath. Although no significant temperature gradient is involved in the operation of the machine, yet the Carnot efficiency as high as one is achievable. Working of the machine is explained on the basis of a demon suggested by Maxwell. Utilizing the kinetic energy spectrum of the molecules in solution, the demon can send "hotter" molecules to a higher gravitational potential at the expense of their own energies. Difference in chemical potentials due to concentration gradients and use of semi-permeable membranes ensure the continuing cyclic process. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/0412012 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
