Nonequilibrium Equality for Free Energy Differences
TL;DR: In this paper, an expression for the equilibrium free energy difference between two configurations of a system, in terms of an ensemble of finite-time measurements of the work performed in parametrically switching from one configuration to the other, is derived.

Efficiency of a Carnot engine at maximum power output
F. L. Curzon,B. Ahlborn +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of a Carnot engine for the case where the power output is limited by the rates of heat transfer to and from the working substance was analyzed, and it was shown that the efficiency at maximum power output was given by the expression η = 1 − (T2/T1)1/2 where T1 and T2 are the respective temperatures of the heat source and heat sink.

Nonequilibrium Measurements of Free Energy Differences for Microscopically Reversible Markovian Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the free energy difference between two equilibrium ensembles of a system and an ensemble average of the work required to switch between these two configurations can be derived under the assumption that the system's dynamics is Markovian and microscopically reversible.

Thermodynamics in finite time
TL;DR: The first attempt to use physical theory to study the functioning of machines was undertaken by the French engineer Sadi Carnot as discussed by the authors, who undertook a systematic study of the physical processes governing steam engines, resulting in his remarkable paper Reflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu (On the Motive Power of Heat) published in 1826.

Current Trends in Finite‐Time Thermodynamics
TL;DR: Finite-time thermodynamics is to place the system of interest in contact with a time-varying environment which will coax the system along the desired path, much like guiding a horse along by waving a carrot in front of it.
