Work output and efficiency of a reversible quantum Otto cycle
2010
An idealized reversible Otto cycle working with a single quantum mechanical
particle contained in a potential well is investigated based on the
Schrodinger equation in this paper. The model of a reversible quantum Otto
cycle, which consists of two reversible adiabatic and two constant-well widen
branches, is established. As an example, we calculate a particularly simple
case in which only two of the eigenstates of the potential well contribute to
the wave-function in the well. The relationship between the optimal
dimensionless work output W
