Efficiency at maximum power and efficiency fluctuations in a linear Brownian heat-engine model
Efficiency at maximum power and efficiency fluctuations in a linear Brownian heat-engine model
We investigate stochastic thermodynamics of a two-particles Langevin system. Each particle is in contact with a heat bath at different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2~(<T_1)$, respectively. Particles are trapped by a harmonic potential and driven by a linear external force. The system can act as an autonomous heat engine performing work …
