Energetics of a Microscopic Feynman Ratchet
Bart Cleuren, Ralf Eichhorn
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 therm…
Thermodynamics and efficiency of sequentially collisional Brownian particles: The role of drivings
Fernando S. Filho, Bruno A. N. Akasaki, Carlos E. Fernadéz Noa +2
Brownian particles placed sequentially in contact with distinct thermal reservoirs and subjected to external driving forces are promising candidates for the construction of reliabl…
Stochastic Impedance
Bart Cleuren, Karel Proesmans
The concept of impedance, which characterises the current response to a periodical driving, is introduced in the context of stochastic transport. In particular, we calculate the im…
Power-efficiency-dissipation relations in linear thermodynamics
Karel Proesmans, Bart Cleuren, Christian Van den Broeck
We derive general relations between maximum power, maximum efficiency, and minimum dissipation regimes from linear irreversible thermodynamics. The relations simplify further in th…
Linear stochastic thermodynamics for periodically driven systems
Karel Proesmans, Bart Cleuren, Christian Van den Broeck
The theory of linear stochastic thermodynamics is developed for periodically driven systems in contact with a single reservoir. Appropriate thermodynamic forces and fluxes are iden…
Efficiency of Single Particle Engines
Karel Proesmans, Cedric Driesen, Bart Cleuren +1
We study the efficiency of a single particle Szilard and Carnot engine. Within a first order correction to the quasi-static limit, the work distribution is found to be Gaussian and…
