Methods and Conversations in (Post)Modern Thermodynamics
Francesco Avanzini, Massimo Bilancioni, Vasco Cavina +19
Lecture notes after the doctoral school (Post)Modern Thermodynamics held at the University of Luxembourg, December 2022, 5-7, covering and advancing continuous-time Markov chains,…
Sustaining a temperature difference
Matteo Polettini, Alberto Garilli
We derive an expression for the minimal rate of entropy that sustains two reservoirs at different temperatures and . The law displays an intuitive depende…
Efficiency statistics at all times: Carnot limit at finite power
Matteo Polettini, Gatien Verley, Massimiliano Esposito
We derive the statistics of the efficiency under the assumption that thermodynamic fluxes fluctuate with normal law, parametrizing it in terms of time, macroscopic efficiency, and…
Of dice and men. Subjective priors, gauge invariance, and nonequilibrium thermodynamics
Matteo Polettini
"Ceci n'est pas une pipe" wrote René Magritte on what was only the representation of a pipe. Phenomena and their physical descriptions differ, and in particular the laws ruling the…
Fact-checking Ziegler's maximum entropy production principle beyond the linear regime and towards steady states
Matteo Polettini
We challenge claims that the principle of maximum entropy production produces physical phenomenological relations between conjugate currents and forces, even beyond the linear regi…
Diffusion in nonuniform temperature and its geometric analog
Matteo Polettini
We propose a Langevin equation for systems in an environment with nonuniform temperature. At odds with an older proposal, ours admits a locally Maxwellian steady state, local equip…
