We retrospect three abstract models for heat engines which include a classic abstract model
in textbook of thermal physics, a primary abstract model for finite-time heat engines, and a …

Isothermal transformations are minimally dissipative but slow processes, as the system
needs to remain close to thermal equilibrium along the protocol. Here, we show that …

We consider the finite-time operation of a quantum heat engine whose working substance is
composed of a two-level atomic system. The engine cycle, consisting of two quantum …

We construct a microscopic model of low-dissipation engines by driving a Brownian particle
in a time-dependent harmonic potential. Shortcuts to adiabaticity and shortcuts to …

We present results obtained by using nonlinear irreversible models for heat devices. In
particular, we focus on the global performance characteristics, the maximum efficiency and …

The efficiency at the maximum power (EMP) for finite-time Carnot engines established with
the low-dissipation model, relies significantly on the assumption of the inverse proportion …

Due to the diverse functionalities of different thermal machines, their optimization relies on a
case-by-case basis, lacking unified results. In this work, we propose a general approach to …

A unified χ-criterion for heat devices (including heat engines and refrigerators), which is
defined as the product of the energy conversion efficiency and the heat absorbed per unit …

We construct a microscopic model of low-dissipation engines by driving a Brownian particle
in a time-dependent harmonic potential. Shortcuts to adiabaticity and shortcuts to …
