To reveal the role of quantumness in Otto cycle and to discuss validity thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) cycle, we study quantum its classical counterpart. In particular, calculate exactly mean values relative error quantities. quasistatic limit, reduces productivity precision compared that absence quantumness, whereas finite-time mode, it can increase cycle's precision. Interestingly, ...

In classical thermodynamic, maximum power obtained from system (or minimum power supplied to system) defined as availability (exergy), but availability term is only used for reversible systems. In reality, there is no reversible system, all systems are irreversible, because reversible cycles doesn’t include constrains like time or size and they operates in quasi-equilibrium state. Purpose of th...

Thermodynamic length is a metric distance between equilibrium thermodynamic states. Among other interesting properties, this metric asymptotically bounds the dissipation induced by a finite time transformation of a thermodynamic system. It is also connected to the Jensen-Shannon divergence, Fisher information, and Rao's entropy differential metric. Therefore, thermodynamic length is of central ...

We propose a general framework for approximating the potential of mean force (PMF) along a reaction coordinate in conformational space. This framework, based on the method of weighted residuals, can be viewed as a generalization of thermodynamic integration and direct histogram methods. Using weighted residuals allows for higher-order approximations to the PMF in the form of a global spectral m...

In this paper we present a comparative study of nine photosynthetic pathways by means of their thermodynamic performance. The comparison is made by using the thermal efficiency of light-to-chemical energy conversion and the so-called ecological criterion arising from finite-time thermodynamics. The application of both criteria leads to photosynthesis made by metaphytes and non sulfur purple bac...
