Control of Metastable States by Heat Flux in the Hamiltonian Potts Model
Michikazu Kobayashi, Naoko Nakagawa, Shin-ichi Sasa
The local equilibrium thermodynamics is a basic assumption of macroscopic descriptions of the out of equilibrium dynamics for Hamiltonian systems. We numerically analyze the Hamilt…
Quasi-static decomposition and the Gibbs factorial in small thermodynamic system
Shin-ichi Sasa, Ken Hiura, Naoko Nakagawa +1
For small thermodynamic systems in contact with a heat bath, we determine the free energy by imposing the following two conditions. First, the quasi-static work in any configuratio…
Unique extension of the maximum entropy principle to phase coexistence in heat conduction
Naoko Nakagawa, Shin-ichi Sasa
The maximum entropy principle determines the values of thermodynamic variables in thermally isolated equilibrium systems. This paper extends the principle to a variational principl…
Work relation for determining the mixing free energy of small-scale mixtures
Akira Yoshida, Naoko Nakagawa
In thermodynamically characterizing a mixture comprising a finite number of molecules, we consider two kinds of protocol for producing a mixture from a pure substance. The first is…
Effective Langevin equations leading to large deviation function of time-averaged velocity for a nonequilibrium Rayleigh piston
Masato Itami, Yohei Nakayama, Naoko Nakagawa +1
We study fluctuating dynamics of a freely movable piston that separates an infinite cylinder into two regions filled with ideal gas particles at the same pressure but different tem…
Stochastic order parameter dynamics for phase coexistence in heat conduction
Shin-ichi Sasa, Naoko Nakagawa, Masato Itami +1
We propose a stochastic order parameter equation for describing phase coexistence in steady heat conduction near equilibrium. By analyzing the stochastic dynamics with a non-equili…
