The model is
assuming classical theory rather than quantum theory.
Not exact matches
In
theory, it is
assumed that the power of a heat engine can be increased by linking it to a quantum heat bath, thus providing a wealth of possibilities that can be used to move beyond the standard accepted boundaries of
classical thermodynamics and construct new types of engines.
If one
assumes that there is no net heat exchange between the column and its surroundings — implying that the vertical integral of the absolute temperature remains constant — an isothermal profile is obtained in accordance with
classical thermodynamics and the kinetic
theory of gases.
