Challenging centuries-old assumptions about thermodynamics, a new study in published in Physical Review Letters has shown ...

Heat is a byproduct of combustion. Both air-cooled and water-cooled engines need to dissipate that heat to keep the engine from running too hot. Can piston rings play a role in managing that heat?

The continuous drive for enhanced efficiency and reliability in modern diesel engines has prompted extensive research into the thermal management of critical components such as pistons. The ...

Quantum thermodynamics explores the fundamental principles governing energy conversion at the smallest scales, where quantum effects such as coherence and entanglement significantly influence the ...
