Amikam Levy, Robert Alicki, Ronnie Kosloff
TL;DR
This paper critiques a photon-powered refrigerator model, arguing it violates the dynamical third law of thermodynamics and discussing different formulations of the law.
Contribution
It provides a critical analysis of a previous model, highlighting its inconsistency with the dynamical third law and exploring possible reasons for this violation.
Findings
The model violates the dynamical third law of thermodynamics.
Different formulations of the third law are discussed.
A possible reason for the violation is suggested.
Abstract
We comment that the model proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 120603 (2012) violates the dynamical version of the third law of thermodynamics. We discuses the different formulations of the third law of thermodynamics and suggest a possible reason for the violation.
