Optimized Efficiency at Two Optimum Operations of a Stochastically Driven Quantum Dot Heat Engine by Yigermal Bassie, Tibebe Birhanu, Yoseph Abebe, Mulugeta Bekele

“…We study the overall performance of the heat engine by introducing a figure of merit that considers the contribution of each of the above quantities as a function of Carnot efficiency. Based on the proposed figure of merit, the model shows that the second optimization criteria are 3 times better than the first optimization criteria as a function of Carnot efficiency.…”
