Thermodynamics of a collisional quantum-dot machine: the role of stages
Abstract Sequential (or collisional) engines have been put forward as an alternative candidate for the realisation of reliable engine setups. Despite this, the role of the different stages and the influence of the intermediate reservoirs is not well understood. We introduce the idea of conveniently adjusting/choosing intermediate reservoirs at engine …
