The smallest possible thermal machines and the foundations of thermodynamics - Lecture 1

Описание к видео The smallest possible thermal machines and the foundations of thermodynamics - Lecture 1

Professor Sandu Popescu (University of Bristol)

2023 Salam Distinguished Lectures Series

Popescu will raise the question on the fundamental limits to the size of thermal machines – refrigerators, heat pumps and work producing engines - and will present the smallest possible ones. He will then discuss the issue of a possible complementarity between size and efficiency and show that even the smallest machines could be maximally efficient. He will also present a new point of view over what is work and what do thermal machines actually do. Finally, he will present a completely new approach to the foundations of thermodynamics that follows from these results.
