1302.2723 (Giuliano Benenti et al.)

Conservation Laws and Thermodynamic Efficiencies    [PDF]

Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Jiao Wang
We show that generic systems with a single relevant conserved quantity reach the Carnot efficiency in the thermodynamic limit. Such a general result is illustrated by means of a diatomic chain of hard-point elastically colliding particles where the total momentum is the only relevant conserved quantity.
