Low-dissipation engines: Microscopic construction via shortcuts to adiabaticity and isothermality, the optimal relation between power and efficiency
We construct a microscopic model of low-dissipation engines by driving a Brownian particle in a time-dependent harmonic potential. Shortcuts to adiabaticity and shortcuts to isothermality are introduced to realize the adiabatic and isothermal branches in a thermodynamic cycle, respectively. We derive an analytical formula of the efficiency at maximum power …
