Brownian refrigerator
arXiv:cond-mat/0602153 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.210601
Abstract
Onsager symmetry implies that a Brownian motor, driven by a temperature gradient, will also perform a refrigerator function upon loading. We analytically calculate the corresponding heat flux for an exactly solvable microscopic model and compare it with molecular dynamics simulations.
