q-Thermodynamics: First law for quasi-stationary states
arXiv:cond-mat/0310263
Abstract
We discuss peculiar aspects of the first law of thermodynamics for systems characterized by the presence of meta-equilibrium quasi-stationary states for which the pertinent phase/configuration spaces is generally inhomogeneous. As a consequence, the naive additivity requirement for thermodynamic quantities ceases to be satisfied.
