Thermoelectric devices convert temperature gradients into electrical power and vice versa, thus enabling energy scavenging from waste heat, sensing and cooling. Yet, many of these attractive applications are hindered by the limited…

Thermodynamic transport phenomena in the system consisting of many hard-disks confined in a circular tube with a temperature difference are discussed. Here, temperatures on parts of the walls of the tube are imposed by stochastic boundary…

Thermoacoustic instabilities are one of the most challenging problems faced by gas turbine and rocket motor manufacturers. The key instability mechanism is described by the {\it Rayleigh criterion}. The Rayleigh criterion does not directly…

In an acoustic cavity with a heat source, such as a flame in a gas turbine, the thermal energy of the heat source can be converted into acoustic energy, which may generate a loud oscillation. If uncontrolled, these nonlinear acoustic…

A quantum absorption refrigerator driven by noise is studied with the purpose of determining the limitations of cooling to absolute zero. The model consists of a working medium coupled simultaneously to hot, cold and noise baths. Explicit…

We use a transmon qubit and its dispersively coupled readout resonator to measure the Fock state populations of another microwave resonator, to which we have attached a quantum-circuit refrigerator (QCR). First, we apply noise generated at…

Cryogenic quantum sensing techniques are developing alongside the ever-increasing requirements for noiseless experimental environments. For instance, several groups have isolated internal system vibrations from cold heads in closed-cycle…

Preparing thermal states on a quantum computer can have a variety of applications, from simulating many-body quantum systems to training machine learning models. Variational circuits have been proposed for this task on near-term quantum…

We propose a framework of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) to enable passive open-loop control of tonal sound generated during thermoacoustic instability. Experiments were performed in a laboratory-scale bluff-body stabilized turbulent…

Sound is usually generated in a medium by an electromechanical vibrating structure. The geometrical size and inertia of the structure set the frequency cutoff in the sound-transduction mechanism and, often, different vibrating structures…

Thermoacoustic engines convert heat energy into high amplitude acoustic waves and subsequently into electric power. This article provides a review of the four main methods to convert the (thermo)acoustic power into electricity. First,…

Maintaining temperature is crucial in both daily life and industrial settings, ensuring human comfort and device functionality. In the quest for energy conservation and emission reduction, several contemporary passive temperature control…

The cryopreservation of biological materials is a highly complex process, as it involves numerous factors such as the cooling and thawing procedures, the administration of cryoprotective agents (CPAs), as well as the type and composition of…

Scaling superconducting quantum computers to the fault-tolerant regime calls for a commensurate scaling of the classical control and readout stack. Today's systems largely rely on room-temperature, rack-based instrumentation connected to…

One of the most effective methods for cooling micro and nano devices to ultra low temperatures is the sideband method. Currently, this approach is being studied experimentally and theoretically. Theoretical results that relate to this…

Near-equilibrium thermal detectors operate as classical calorimeters, with energy deposition and internal equilibration times short compared to the thermal time constant of the device. Advances in fabrication techniques, cryogenics, and…

Recent progress in the synthesis and processing of nano-structured materials and systems calls for an improved understanding of thermal properties on small length scales. In this context, the question whether thermodynamics and, in…

This study focuses on the Rijke tube problem, which includes features relevant to the modeling of thermoacoustic coupling in reactive flows: a compact acoustic source, an empirical model for the heat source, and nonlinearities. This…

The urge for efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives for the current gas-based refrigeration is becoming more critical due to global warming and overpopulation. Among the main candidates, solid-state-based cooling technology is…
