Finite Bath Fluctuation Theorem
arXiv:0901.3974 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.80.031145
Abstract
We demonstrate that a Finite Bath Fluctuation Theorem of the Crooks type holds for systems that have been thermalized via weakly coupling it to a bath with energy independent finite specific heat. We show that this theorem reduces to the known canonical and microcanonical fluctuation theorems in the two respective limiting cases of infinite and vanishing specific heat of the bath. The result is elucidated by applying it to a 2D hard disk colliding elastically with few other hard disks in a rectangular box with perfectly reflecting walls.
