@article{Lahiri2012FluctuationRF, title={Fluctuation relations for heat engines in time-periodic steady states}, author={Sourabh Lahiri and Shubhashis Rana and Arun M. Jayannavar}, journal={arXiv: Statistical Mechanics}, year={2012} }
A fluctuation relation for heat engines (FRHE) has been derived recently. In the beginning, the system is in contact with the cooler bath. The system is then coupled to the hotter bath and external parameters are changed cyclically, eventually bringing the system back to its initial state, once the coupling with the hot bath is switched off. In this work, we lift the condition of initial thermal equilibrium and derive a new fluctuation relation for the central system (heat engine) being in a…
