Thermodynamics of Micro- and Nano-Systems Driven by Periodic Temperature Variations
We introduce a general framework for analyzing the thermodynamics of small systems that are driven by both a periodic temperature variation and some external parameter modulating their energy. This setup covers, in particular, periodic micro- and nano-heat engines. In a first step, we show how to ex...
