Abstract
We derive general relations between the maximum power, maximum efficiency, and minimum dissipation regimes from linear irreversible thermodynamics. The relations simplify further in the presence of a particular symmetry of the Onsager matrix, which can be derived from detailed balance. The results are illustrated on a periodically driven system and a three-terminal device subject to an external magnetic field.Year: 2016 PMID: 27314707 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.220601
