Ronald Benjamin

摘要:

通过对朗之万惯性方程的数值模拟,研究了由位置相关温度驱动的布朗型热机和热泵(称为Büttiker-Landauer热机和热泵)的热力学.我们确定的最佳性能的热机和热泵的参数值。我们的研究结果定性地不同于基于过阻尼模型的方法。在有限时间条件下考察了热机和热泵在线性响应区的行为,发现其效率低于相同条件下工作的内可逆热机的效率。最后,我们研究了不同的电位和温度分布的作用,以提高系统的效率。我们的模拟结果表明,优化的潜力和温度分布只会导致系统性能的边际增强,由于通过布朗粒子的动能的大熵产生。

英文摘要:

The energetics of a Brownian heat engine and heat pump driven by position dependent temperature, known as the Büttiker-Landauer heat engine and heat pump, is investigated by numerical simulations of the inertial Langevin equation. We identify parameter values for optimal performance of the heat engine and heat pump. Our results qualitatively differ from approaches based on the overdamped model. The behavior of the heat engine and heat pump, in the linear response regime is examined under finite time conditions and we find that the efficiency is lower than that of an endoreversible engine working under the same condition. Finally, we investigate the role of different potential and temperature profiles to enhance the efficiency of the system. Our simulations show that optimizing the potential and temperature profile leads only to a marginal enhancement of the system performance due to the large entropy production via the Brownian particle's kinetic energy.
