Energetics of a Microscopic Feynman Ratchet
arXiv:2210.14647 · doi:10.1088/1742-5468/acc64e
Abstract
A general formalism is derived describing both dynamical and energetic properties of a microscopic Feynman ratchet. Work and heat flows are given as a series expansion in the thermodynamic forces, obtaining analytical expressions for the (non)linear response coefficients. Our results extend previously obtained expressions in the context of a chiral heat pump.
