Equation of state in a small system: Violation of an assumption of Maxwell's demon
Tsuyoshi Hondou
An equation of state for an ideal gas with a small number of particles is studied. The resulting equation is found to differ from that expected in conventional thermodynamics, whic…

Inattainability of Carnot efficiency in the Brownian heat engine
Tsuyoshi Hondou, Ken Sekimoto
We discuss the reversibility of Brownian heat engine. We perform asymptotic analysis of Kramers equation on Büttiker-Landauer system and show quantitatively that Carnot efficiency…

Thermal Noise Can Facilitate Energy Conversion by Ratchet System?
Fumiko Takagi, Tsuyoshi Hondou
Molecular motors in biological systems are expected to use ambient fluctuation. In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 80}, 5251 (1998)], it was showed that the following questi…
