TL;DR
This paper investigates the efficiency of holographic heat engines using Born-Infeld AdS black holes as the working substance, comparing results with Einstein-Maxwell and Gauss-Bonnet black holes in extended gravitational thermodynamics.
Contribution
It introduces Born-Infeld non-linear electrodynamics into holographic heat engine analysis and compares its efficiency with other black hole models.
Findings
Born-Infeld black holes exhibit distinct efficiency characteristics.
Comparison shows differences between non-linear and linear electrodynamics cases.
Results enhance understanding of black hole thermodynamics in extended gravity theories.
Abstract
We study the efficiency of heat engines that perform mechanical work via the pdV terms present in the First Law in extended gravitational thermodynamics. We use charged black holes as the working substance, for a particular choice of engine cycle. The context is Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant and a Born-Infeld non-linear electrodynamics sector. We compare the results for these `holographic' heat engines to previous results obtained for Einstein-Maxwell black holes, and for the case where there is a Gauss-Bonnet sector.
