Kinetic Characterization of Heat Bath and the Energetics of Thermal Ratchet Models
Abstract
Langevin equations have been employed to describe thermally fluctuating systems, such as thermal ratchet models . Their role of the heat bath in these contexts has not been clearly understood. We introduce an approach to this issue and, by using it, propose a method to study the energetics of those models. As a example, we calculate the efficiency of energy conversion of “Feynman's ratchet”.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
