Stochastic Thermodynamics of a Particle in a Box
Stochastic Thermodynamics of a Particle in a Box
The piston system (particles in a box) is the simplest paradigmatic model in traditional thermodynamics. However, the recently established framework of stochastic thermodynamics (ST) fails to apply to this model system due to the embedded singularity in the potential. In this Letter, we study the ST of a particle in …
