Thermodynamics and Legendre Duality in Optimal Networks
Amilcare Porporato, Shashank Kumar Anand, Salvatore Calabrese +2
Optimality principles in nonequilibrium transport networks are linked to a thermodynamic formalism based on generalized transport potentials endowed with Legendre duality and relat…
Thermodynamic Langevin Equations
Amilcare Porporato, Salvatore Calabrese, Lamberto Rondoni
The physical significance of the stochastic processes associated to the generalized Gibbs ensembles is scrutinized here with special attention to the thermodynamic fluctuations of…
Dynamic dependence of nonequilibrium work limits the validity of the Jarzynski Equality
Amilcare Porporato, Salvatore Calabrese
The Jarzynski equality (JE) is analyzed in regard to its validity for both quasi-static transformations in the thermodynamic limit and Hamiltonian evolutions of the work protocol.…
Thermodynamics of fluctuations in small systems interacting with the environment
Salvatore Calabrese, Lamberto Rondoni, Amilcare Porporato
A few decades after Hill's work on nano-thermodynamics, the development of a thermodynamic framework, to account consistently for the fluctuations of small systems due to their int…
Origin of Negative Temperatures in Systems Interacting with External Fields
Salvatore Calabrese, Amilcare Porporato
The controversial existence of negative temperatures has stirred interesting debates that have reached the foundations of thermodynamics, including questions on the second law, the…
