Pareto-optimal control strategies in intrinsically nonequilibrium systems
Gustavo A. L. Forão, Carlos E. Fiore, Jonas Berx
Thermodynamic control is typically formulated as the optimisation of a single objective, yet competing costs rarely admit a common optimum, so single-objective control captures onl…
Cyclic Heat Engine with the Ising model: role of interactions and criticality
Gustavo A. L. Forão, Gustavo A. L. Forão, Arya Datta +2
Heat engines that convert thermal energy into work are a cornerstone of classical thermodynamics and remain an active area of contemporary research. Notable examples include micros…
Universal splitting of phase transitions and performance optimization in driven collective systems
Gustavo A. L. Forão, Jonas Berx, Tan Van Vu +1
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a hallmark of equilibrium systems, typically characterized by a single critical point separating ordered and disordered phases. Recently, a novel c…
Statistics of power and efficiency for collisional Brownian engines
Gustavo A. L. Forão, Fernando S. Filho, Pedro V. Paraguassú
Collisional Brownian engines have attracted significant attention due to their simplicity, experimental accessibility, and amenability to exact analytical solutions. While previous…
Characterization and optimization of heat engines: Pareto-optimal fronts and universal features
Gustavo A. L. Forão, Jonas Berx, Carlos E. Fiore
Characterizing and optimizing nanoscopic heat engines require an appropriate understanding of the interplay between power, efficiency, entropy production and fluctuations. Despite…
Optimal control strategy for collisional Brownian engines
Gustavo A. L. Forão
Collisional Brownian engines have recently gained attention as alternatives to conventional nanoscale engines. However, a comprehensive optimization of their performance, which cou…
