Negative specific heat, phase transition and particles spilling from a potential well

For a finite number of noninteracting particles in a box with a potential well in the center, the microcanonical kinetic energy in dependence on the total energy as it is negative can be classified into three categories. The first exhibits a monotonical rise and the specific heat is positive. The second shows a diminishing sawtooth wave with a global rise. The last corresponds to the extreme case and takes the regular sawtooth wave form. The sawtooth wave portion associates periodically a kinetic energy fall in spite of an increase of the total energy; and we attribute to such a fall the negative specific heat. The phase transition can be defined when the relatively dense particle state in the well and relatively dilute particle state in the rest volume of the box coexist, and the appearance of the negative specific heat is sufficient but not necessary for the onset of the phase transition.

Thermodynamic anomalies in the presence of general linear dissipation: from the free particle to the harmonic oscillator

A free particle coupled to a heat bath can exhibit a number of thermodynamic anomalies like a negative specific heat, reentrant classicality or a nonmonotonic entropy. These low-temperature phenomena are expected to be modified at very low temperatures where finite-size effects associated with the discreteness of the energy spectrum become relevant. In this paper, we explore in which form the thermodynamic anomalies visible in the specific heat and the entropy of the free damped particle appear for a damped harmonic oscillator. Since the discreteness of the oscillator’s energy spectrum is fully accounted for, the results are valid for arbitrary temperatures. As expected, they are in agreement with the third law of thermodynamics and indicate how the thermodynamic anomalies of the free damped particle can be reconciled with the third law. Particular attention is paid to the transition from the harmonic oscillator to the free particle when the limit of the oscillator frequency to zero is taken.     

Identifying financial crises in real time

Following the thermodynamic formulation of a multifractal measure that was shown to enable the detection of large fluctuations at an early stage, here we propose a new index which permits us to distinguish events like financial crises in real time. We calculate the partition function from which we can obtain thermodynamic quantities analogous to the free energy and specific heat. The index is defined as the normalized energy variation and it can be used to study the behavior of stochastic time series, such as financial market daily data. Famous financial market crashes–Black Thursday (1929), Black Monday (1987) and the subprime crisis (2008)–are identified with clear and robust results. The method is also applied to the market fluctuations of 2011. From these results it appears as if the apparent crisis of 2011 is of a different nature to the other three. We also show that the analysis has forecasting capabilities.     

Steepest descent path for the microcanonical ensemble-resolution of an ambiguity

The microcanonical entropy plays an essential role in the equilibrium statistical mechanics of gravitating systems. A peculiar feature of many of these systems is the existence of stable thermodynamic equilibrium configurations with negative heat capacities. Different methods have been developed for calculating the microcanonical entropy involving multivariate integrals of constraints and functional integrations. An apparent ambiguity between an approach due to Hawking and Gibbons, based on an entropy definition involving an inverse Laplace transform of the partition function, which they developed to treat quantum systems with gravity, and a different approach developed by Horwitz and Katz defining the entropy as an equal weight sum over a constant energy surface developed originally to treat Newtonian and classical GR systems is shown here to be spurious, at least at the level of quadratic fluctuations of all variables about the extremal solutions. The two approaches involve distinct contours for different orders of integration, each of which is shown to be the appropriate steepest descent path corresponding to the given order of investigation. Up to quadratic fluctuations both methods yield identical results. However, they represent different perturbation expansions for the gravitational modes of freedom with different radii of convergence. The discussion is made in terms of a particular convenient model, a system of point particles interacting via Newtonian forces, confined to a sphere, but results are quite general.

Stochastic simulation of variations in the autoignition delay time of premixed methane and air

A mesoscopic stochastic particle model for homogeneous combustion is introduced. The model can be used to investigate the physical fluctuations in a system of coupled chemical reactions with energy (heat) release/consumption. In the mesoscopic model, the size of the homogeneous gas volume is an additional variable, which is eliminated in macroscopic continuum models by the thermodynamic limit N→∞. Thus, continuous homogeneous models are macroscopic models wherein fluctuations are excluded by definition. Fluctuations are known to be of particular importance for systems close to the autoignition limits. The new model is used to investigate the stochastic properties of the autoignition delay time in a homogeneous system with stoichiometric premixed methane and air. Temperature and species concentrations during autoignition of sub-macroscopic volumes, including physically meaningful fluctuations, are presented. It is found that different realizations mainly differ in the time when ignition occurs; besides this the development is similar. The mesoscopic range and the macroscopic limit are identified. Which range a specific system is assigned to is not only a question of the length scale or particle number, but also depends on the complete thermodynamic state. The stochastic algorithm yields the correct results for the macroscopic limit compared to the continuous balance equations. The sensitivity of the results to two different detailed reaction mechanisms (for the same system) is studied and found to be low. We show that when approaching the autoignition limit by decreasing the temperature, the fluctuations in the autoignition delay time increase and an increasing number of realizations will have exceedingly long ignition delay times, meaning they are in practice not autoignitable. With this result the mesoscopic simulations offer an explanation of the transition between autoignitable and non-autoignitable conditions. The calculated distributions were compared with ten repetitions of the same experiment. A mesoscopic distribution that matches the experimental results was found.     

Partition functions of atomic and diatomic species in high-temperature atmospheric plasmas

Accurate atomic and diatomic partition functions are required to determine the level populations for the calculations of radiative properties in thermodynamic equilibrium and nonequilibrium plasmas produced by various atmospheric re-entries. In this work, a reliable partition functions database was rebuilt for some atomic and diatomic species from 100 K to 50000 K. The atomic partition functions were obtained by a four-level model, while the diatomic partition functions were predicted based upon a more rigorous approach for the computation of the energy levels. Compared with previous publications, the number of diatomic electronic states considered in our work is as large as possible. Estimates are made for the contributions of each electronic state of the diatomic molecule to the partition function. Moreover, the effect of the number of electronic states on the partition function was also evaluated. Finally, we calculated the specific heat based upon the obtained partition functions. All the results were validated by the available data in recent references and the relative errors were systematically analysed.

Underlying probability distributions of the canonical ensemble

The canonical distributions are chi-square distributions which are derived from parent distributions for nonconjugate fluctuating thermodynamic variables. The probability distributions are generated by discrete random variables which are the number of degrees of freedom and the number of particles. Randomized sampling of the total number of degrees of freedom and total number of particles gives rise, respectively, to fluctuations in the energy and volume.
