In this study, the minimum of work needed to drive a thermodynamic system from one initial distribution to another in given time duration is obtained. Equivalently, for given work, the minimum of time duration needed to complete such transition process is obtained. Our results show that, the minimum of work increases with the change of internal energy and friction coefficient, while decreases with the change of entropy and time duration. The results of this study are valuable for the understanding of nonequilibrium thermodynamic, especially for the design and optimization of stochastic heat engines.
