我们考虑在非平衡定常储层之间运行的量子热机。我们评估他们的最大效率从积极的熵产生，并表明它可以表示在一个有效的温度，取决于水库的性质。我们进一步计算了不同类型的工程水库在最大功率下的效率，并推导出第二定律的克劳修斯陈述的非平衡推广。版权所有（c）EPLA，2014
We consider quantum heat engines that operate between nonequilibrium stationary reservoirs. We evaluate their maximum efficiency from the positivity of the entropy production and show that it can be expressed in terms of an effective temperature that depends on the nature of the reservoirs. We further compute the efficiency at maximum power for different kinds of engineered reservoirs and derive a nonequilibrium generalization of the Clausius statement of the second law.
