Conservation Laws and Thermodynamic Efficiencies
arXiv:1302.2723 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.070604
Abstract
We show that generic systems with a single relevant conserved quantity reach the Carnot efficiency in the thermodynamic limit. Such a general result is illustrated by means of a diatomic chain of hard-point elastically colliding particles where the total momentum is the only relevant conserved quantity.
