Non-monotonic Irreversibility in Polytropic Steering
Cong Fu, Youhui Lin, Shanhe Su +1
The efficient manipulation of thermodynamic states within the finite time is fundamentally constrained by the intrinsic dissipative cost. While the slow-driving regime is well-char…

Unified approach to power-efficiency trade-off relations of generic thermal machines
Yu-Han Ma, Cong Fu
We present a general framework for determining the power-efficiency trade-off relations across arbitrary thermal machines, addressing the lack of unified optimization results stemm…
