Onsager coefficients of a finite-time Carnot cycle.
We study a finite-time Carnot cycle of a weakly interacting gas which we can regard as a nearly ideal gas in the limit of T(h)-T(c) --> 0 where T(h) and T(c) are the temperatures of the hot and cold heat reservoirs, respectively. In this limit, we can assume that the cycle is working in the linear-response regime and can calculate the Onsager coefficients of this cycle analytically using the el...
متن کاملBrownian Carnot engine
The Carnot cycle imposes a fundamental upper limit to the efficiency of a macroscopic motor operating between two thermal baths1. However, this bound needs to be reinterpreted at microscopic scales, where molecular bio-motors2 and some artificial micro-engines3-5 operate. As described by stochastic thermodynamics6,7, energy transfers in microscopic systems are random and thermal fluctuations in...
متن کاملRESEARCH NOTE - Virial coefficients of Onsager crosses
Onsager crosses are particles formed by rigidly connecting three perpendicular, elongated rods of length L and diameter D . We have investigated the behaviour of the virial coe cients of Onsager crosses as a function of the aspect ratio L /D of the rods. The interest in these particles stems from the fact that they should exhibit a cubatic liquid crystalline phase in the limit (L /D ) ® ¥ . It...
متن کاملThermodynamic forces, flows, and Onsager coefficients in complex networks.
In this paper the linear theory of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, developed by Onsager and others, is applied to random networks with arbitrary degree distribution. Using the well-known methods of nonequilibrium thermodynamics we identify thermodynamic forces and their conjugated flows induced in networks as a result of single node degree perturbation. The forces and the flows can be understood...
