Universality of maximum-work efficiency of a cyclic heat engine based on a finite system of ultracold atoms
Abstract We study the performance of a cyclic heat engine which uses a small system with a finite number of ultracold atoms as its working substance and works between two heat reservoirs at constant temperatures T h and T c (<T h ). Starting from the expression of heat capacity which includes fin...
