A Thought Construction of Working Perpetuum Mobile of the Second Kind

TL;DR

This paper reconstructs a quantum model demonstrating a self-organizing system that cyclically converts heat into work without external aid, effectively proposing a theoretical perpetuum mobile of the second kind that challenges thermodynamic laws.

Contribution

It provides an exact, scalable quantum model of a self-organizing system that acts as a perpetual heat engine, contradicting the second law of thermodynamics.

Findings

Model exhibits cyclic heat-to-work conversion without external energy input

Uses exact kinetic equations with a special scaling procedure

Contradicts the Thomson formulation of the second law

Abstract

A previously published model of the isothermal Maxwell demon as one of models of open quantum systems endowed with faculty of selforganization is reconstructed here. It describes an open quantum system interacting with a single thermodynamic bath but otherwise not aided from outside. Its activity is given by the standard linear Liouville equation for the system and bath. Owing to its selforganization property, the model then yields cyclic conversion of heat from the bath into mechanical work without compensation. Hence, it provides an explicit thought construction of perpetuum mobile of the second kind, contradicting thus the Thomson formulation of the second law of thermodynamics. No approximation is involved as a special scaling procedure is used which makes the kinetic equations employed exact.
