Liquid-gas transitions in steady heat conduction
arXiv:1707.07448 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.260602
Abstract
We study liquid-gas transitions of heat conduction systems in contact with two heat baths under constant pressure in the linear response regime. On the basis of local equilibrium thermodynamics, we propose an equality with a global temperature, which determines the volume near the equilibrium liquid-gas transition. We find that the formation of the liquid-gas interface is accompanied by a discontinuous change in the volume when increasing the mean temperature of the baths. A super-cooled gas near the interface is observed as a stable steady state.
