in this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. in order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy time v...

The Landauer principle sets a fundamental thermodynamic constraint on the minimum amount of heat that must be dissipated to erase one logical bit information through quasistatically slow protocol. For finite time erasure, costs depend specific physical realization memory and how is erased. Here we treat problem within paradigm Brownian particle in symmetric double-well potential. two minima rep...

In contrast to the classical concept of a Carnot engine that alternates contact between heat baths different temperatures, naturally occurring processes usually harvest energy from anisotropy, being exposed simultaneously chemical and thermal fluctuations intensities. these cases, enabling mechanism responsible for transduction is typically presence non-equilibrium steady state (NESS). A suitab...
