Regular Bardeen AdS black hole as a heat engine

Abstract

We investigate the thermodynamic phase transition and heat engine efficiency in regular Bardeen AdS black hole. The thermodynamics of the black hole is analyzed in extended phase space. A first order phase transition analogous to van der Waal system is evident from this study, which is affirmed by the specific heat divergence at the critical points. A conventional heat engine is constructed by considering the black hole as working substance. The efficiency is obtained via a thermodynamic cycle in the P−V plane, which receives and ejects heat. The heat engine efficiency is improved by adding a quintessence field. The analytical expression for heat engine efficiency is derived in terms of quintessence dark energy parameter. © 2020 The Author(s)
