The metastable Mpemba effect corresponds to a non-monotonic temperature dependence of extractable work
Raphaël Chétrite, Avinash Kumar, John Bechhoefer
The Mpemba effect refers to systems whose thermal relaxation time is a non-monotonic function of the initial temperature. Thus, a system that is initially hot cools to a bath tempe…

Exponentially faster cooling in a colloidal system
Avinash Kumar, John Bechhoefer
As the temperature of a cooling object decreases as it relaxes to thermal equilibrium, it is intuitively assumed that a hot object should take longer to cool than a warm one. Yet,…
