Abstract: | We study networks of interacting oscillators, driven at the boundary by heat baths at possibly different temperatures. A set of first elementary questions are discussed concerning the uniqueness of a stationary possibly Gibbsian density and the nature of the entropy production and the local heat currents. We also derive a Carnot efficiency relation for the work that can be extracted from the heat engine. |
