Thermodynamics of collisional models for Brownian particles: General properties and efficiency
We introduce the idea of collisional models for Brownian particles, in which a particle is sequentially placed in contact with distinct thermal environments and external forces. Thermodynamic properties are exactly obtained, irrespective of the number of reservoirs involved. In the presence of exter...
