The potential well is a simple example that generally used to present an understanding of quantum mechanics. In this article, we used infinite spherical well model to evaluate the thermodynamic processes in a quantum Carnot engine. The energy of the particles depended on the value of n and l lead to complex calculations. For simplicity we used the φ100 and φ200 quantum states to determine work and efficiency of a quantum Carnot machine. The results obtained show that efficiency depends on the value of which is the ratio of RC and RB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
