Heat transfer

Radiative heat transfer arises between two objects at different temperatures. We explore the impact of nonreciprocal media on the process. This is aimed towards the possibility to create a system of non-reciprocal objects, which are in thermal equilibrium, but support a continuous heat exchange without violating the second law of thermodynamics.
