More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly through motion. That insight laid the foundation for thermodynamics, the ...

The physics of thermodynamics, which involves quantities like heat and entropy, offers well-established tools for determining how far from equilibrium an idealised system of particles is. But when it ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

Abstract: The SPMC (Swash Plate Multi-stage Compressor) is capable of simultaneously driving multiple pistons in a reciprocating motion to achieve continuous compression among its different cylinders, ...

New Delhi: In October 2023, Palava City, an urban township developed by the Lodha Group near Dombivli in Mumbai, was witness to an unusual study. For nine months, the township, in a hot and humid ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

Portable air compressors power a variety of air tools, including inflators for tires, finish nailers for carpentry projects, and impact wrenches for auto work. Unlike full-size air compressors, these ...

Typically, with any piece of technology, you get out what you put in.Pump one unit of energy into an electric toasterand you get about one out in the form of heat.That’s just the first law of ...
