Abstract

The potential well is a simple example that generally used to present an understanding of quantum mechanics. In this article, we used infinite spherical well model to evaluate the thermodynamic processes in a quantum Carnot engine. The energy of the particles depended on the value of n and l lead to complex calculations. For simplicity we used the φ100 and φ200 quantum states to determine work and efficiency of a quantum Carnot machine. The results obtained show that efficiency depends on the value of  which is the ratio of RC and RB.
