Emerging the dark sector from thermodynamics of cosmological systems with constant pressure

Alejandro Aviles, Norman Cruz, Jaime Klapp +1

We investigate the thermodynamics of general fluids that have the constriction that their pressure is constant. For example, this happens in the case of pure dust matter, for which…
