Abstract

Tiny heat engines at nanoscales have become a topic of intense studies in recent years. Such engines can be used to power nanomachines. Such machines can find a lot of applications, especially in the medical industry. Recent studies show that it may be possible to enhance the efficiency of such engines if the working system is active in nature. We investigate this problem theoretically and carry out numerical simulations in order to determine the range of parameters that lead to a higher efficiency.
