Abstract
This chapter presents further applications of the information-thermodynamic theory introduced in Chap. 6. We discuss its applications to the steady-state thermodynamics and the feedback cooling. We show that the generalization of the second law of thermodynamics with information flow can be generalized for the steady-state thermodynamics and the feedback cooling. We also discuss the relationship between our result and the third law of thermodynamics in the model of the feedback cooling.
