Entropy (Basel)
July 2024
Article Synopsis
- Quantum thermal engines, particularly those using Bose-Einstein condensed gases like rubidium-87, are being explored for their potential applications but have had limited research on energy transfers during phase transitions.
- An empirical equation of state model was developed to analyze the relationship between pressure, temperature, and other factors in these gas samples, helping to measure entropy and enthalpy during the BEC transition.
- Findings indicated that the entropy remains constant during the BEC transition, suggesting it could serve as an energy source for non-mechanical work, marking progress toward practical quantum thermal engines.
