Exact Mapping of Nonequilibrium to Equilibrium Phase Transitions for Systems in Contact with Two Thermal Baths
Iago N. Mamede, Carlos E. Fiore, Gustavo A. L. Forão +2
We show that a large class of nonequilibrium many-body systems in contact with two thermal baths admit an exact mapping onto equivalent equilibrium systems. This mapping provides d…
Emergent collective heat engines from neighborhood-dependent thermal reservoirs
Carlos E. Fiore
We introduce and analyze a class of heat engines composed of interacting units, in which the thermal reservoir is associated with the neighborhood surrounding each unit. These syst…
Collective heat engines via different interactions: Minimal models, thermodynamics and phase transitions
Iago N. Mamede, Vitória T. Henkes, Carlos E. Fiore
We investigate the dynamics and thermodynamics of a framework composed of interacting units in which parameters (temperatures and energies) assume distinct values due to the contac…
Steady-state heat engines driven by finite reservoirs
Iago N. Mamede, Saulo V. Moreira, Mark T. Mitchison +1
We provide a consistent thermodynamic analysis of stochastic thermal engines driven by finite-size reservoirs, which are in turn coupled to infinite-size reservoirs. We consider a…
