Abstract

A theoretical analysis is presented of heat engines that use the atmosphere as a hot reservoir and a cryogenic medium as a cold reservoir. These “cryogenic” heat engines can be used as zero emission power sources and are found to have unexpectedly large specific work (work per unit mass of the cold reservoir) values when gases of low atomic mass are used as the cryogenic medium.
