论文摘要
我们提出了使用多孔活塞的经典Szilard发动机的变体。这样的发动机既不需要有关粒子位置的信息,也不需要在重置发动机来继续进行工作时,将活塞的去除和随后的插入插入通过将质量提升到重力场上。尽管发动机与单个热储层接触,但重置机制充当第二个储层,当卸下发动机抬起的质量以启动新的操作周期时,可以消散能量。
We propose a variation of the classical Szilard engine that uses a porous piston. Such an engine requires neither information about the position of the particle, nor the removal and subsequent insertion of the piston when resetting the engine to continue doing work by lifting a mass against a gravitational field. Though the engine operates in contact with a single thermal reservoir, the reset mechanism acts as a second reservoir, dissipating energy when a mass that has been lifted by the engine is removed to initiate a new operation cycle.
