Otto Engine: Classical and Quantum Approach

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the total work extracted and the efficiency of the magnetic Otto cycle in its classic and quantum versions. As a general result, we found that the work and efficiency of the classical engine is always greater than or equal to its quantum counterpart, independent of the working substance. In the classical case, this is due to the fact that the working substance is always in thermodynamic equilibrium at each point of the cycle, maximizing the energy extracted in the adiabatic pa… Show more

“…Under this condition, by following Ref 36 the density matrix can be expressed as, where r ’s and are reported in Appendix. The working substance undergoes a generalized Otto cycle 37 . The four stages of the cycle are as follows: Adiabatic compression (Isentropic): The system is compressed, and work is done on the system.…”

“…An analysis of the extracted work and of the efficiency in the classical and quantum versions of the magnetic Otto cycle has been performed in Ref. 32 . The authors have reached the conclusion that the amount of extracted work and efficiency in the classical case is larger than or equal to those in the quantum case.…”
