摘要
We review the literature on the energetics of Brownian motors, distinguishing between forced ratchets, chemical motors - driven out of equilibrium by differences of chemical potential, and thermal motors - driven by temperature differences. The discussion is focused on the definition of efficiency and the compatibility between the models and the laws of thermodynamics.
