Among them, engines have the largest place (Diesel, Lenoir, Brayton, Stirling), even if their environmental aspects are questionable for the future. Mechanical and chemical processes as well as quantum processes that could be important in the near future are considered from a thermodynamical point of view as well as for applications and their relevance to quantum thermodynamics. New insights are reported regarding more classical approaches: Finite Time Thermodynamics F.T.T.; Finite Speed thermodynamics F.S.T.; Finite Dimensions Optimal Thermodynamics F.D.O.T. The evolution of the research resulting from this second Special Issue ranges from basic cycles to complex systems and the development of various new branches of thermodynamics.Research and information: generalbicsscCarnot cycleCarnot efficiencyCarnot engineChambadal modelchemical entropychemical exergyclosed simple Brayton cyclecombined cyclecycle powerecological functionefficiency at maximum powerentropy generation calculationentropy production actionfinite time thermodynamicsheat conductance distributionIBM quantum computerimperfect regenerationinternal and external irreversibilitiesinverse Brayton cycleirreversible Carnot engineirreversible Diesel cycleirreversible Lenoir cycleisothermal processmechanical entropymechanical exergymetabolic reactionsmulti-objective optimizationn/anumerical modelopen quantum systemoptimizationperformance optimizationpower densitypower outputquantum circuitquantum thermodynamicsregenerative Brayton cycleStirling refrigeratorthermal efficiencythermal entropythermal exergythermodynamic analysisthermodynamics in finite timethermodynamics with finite speedResearch and information: generalFeidt Micheledt727699Feidt MichelothBOOK9910557607903321Carnot Cycle and Heat Engine Fundamentals and Applications II3038535UNINA
