Title: Jarzynski equality for time-averaged work
(Submitted on 29 Mar 2023 (v1), revised 4 May 2023 (this version, v2), latest version 18 Apr 2024 (v3))
Abstract: There is evidence that taking the time average of the work performed by a thermally isolated system "transforms" the adiabatic process into an isothermal one. We add here one more fact to this case by showing that the time-averaged difference of Helmholtz free energy is equal to the time-averaged quasistatic work of the system. Therefore, a Jarzynski equality relating the time-averaged work and time-averaged quasistatic work is established. As an immediate consequence, the expected relation $\langle W\rangle\ge W_{\rm qs}$ is demonstrated. Numerical evidence for the equality is also presented for the classical harmonic oscillator with a driven linear equilibrium position parameter.
