Abstract
We investigate the nonequilibrium steady-state thermodynamics of single Brownian macromolecules with inertia under feedback control in an isothermal ambient fluid. With the control being represented by a velocity-dependent external force, we find such an open system can have a negative entropy production rate, and we develop a mesoscopic theory consistent with the second law. We propose an equilibrium condition and define a class of external force, which includes the transverse Lorentz force, leading to equilibrium.
