We explore some beginning steps in stochastic thermodynamics of billiard-like mechanical systems by introducing extremely simple and explicit random mechanical processes capable of exhibiting steady-state irreversible thermodynamical behavior. In particular, we describe a Markov chain model of a minimalistic heat engine and numerically study its operation and efficiency. |
