Relaxation dynamics of meso-reservoirs by Gernot Schaller, Christian Nietner, Tobias Brandes

“…We study the phenomenology of maximum-entropy meso-reservoirs, where we assume that their local thermal equilibrium state changes consistently with the heat transferred between the meso-reservoirs. Depending on heat and matter carrying capacities, the chemical potentials and temperatures are allowed to vary in time, and using global conservation relations we solve their evolution equations. …”
