THE working of exercises forms a very important part of the course work of an engineering student. Many of the exercises required for the purpose of elucidating the subject of heat and heat engines ...

Scientists are working on a heat engine that consists of just a single ion. Such a nano-heat engine could be far more efficient than, for example, a car engine or a coal-fired power plant. Scientists ...

A satellite image shows the huge snowstorm that blanketed the northeastern United States this week. The blizzard was an example of how storms are getting less common but more intense.

MIT says its new solid-state thermophotovoltaic heat engine can harvest more energy from heat than the average steam turbine, at a fraction of the cost and using no moving parts. Huge implications for ...

The quantum advantage: Coherent superposition in quantum heat engines can enhance power output over classical machines. Credit: iStock Traffic-Analyzer Heat engines have had a huge impact on everyday ...

The engine works by taking heat from the hot reservoir, converting some of it into useful work, and rejecting the remaining ...

As the world battles rising inflation, a cost-of-living crisis, climate change and more, it’s clear that the fossil-fueled status quo is not working. Fossil fuels may have seemed like the crutch we ...

(brief explanation) the monthly variation in the atmospheric heat engine efficiency on the QTP for May to September from 2000 to 2020. The atmospheric heat engine efficiency from May to September ...
