Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of spacetime.
It has previously been shown that the Einstein equation can be derived from the requirement that the Clausius relation dS=deltaQ/T hold for all local acceleration horizons through each spacetime point, where is one-quarter the horizon area change in Planck units and deltaQ and T are the energy flux across the horizon and the Unruh temperature seen by an accelerating observer just inside the hor...
متن کاملNonequilibrium thermodynamics and nonlinear kinetics in a cellular signaling switch.
We develop a rigorous nonequilibrium thermodynamics for an open system of nonlinear biochemical reactions responsible for cell signal processing. We show that the quality of the biological switch consisting of a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle, such as those in protein kinase cascade, is controlled by the available intracellular free energy from the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolys...
متن کامل0 Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of colloids
The common rules of classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics do not allow an Onsager coefficient like the viscosity to depend on the shear rate. Such a dependence is experimentally well documented, however. In this paper it is shown, using nonequilibrium thermodynamics alone, how it is possible that the effective viscosity coefficient of an isotropic colloidal system depends on both the shear ra...
متن کاملNonequilibrium thermodynamics of an interface.
Interfacial thermodynamics has deep ramifications in understanding the boundary conditions of transport theories. We present a formulation of local equilibrium for interfaces that extends the thermodynamics of the "dividing surface," as introduced by Gibbs, to nonequilibrium settings such as evaporation or condensation. By identifying the precise position of the dividing surface in the interfac...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Wealth Condensation
We analyze wealth condensation for a wide class of stochastic economy models on the basis of the economic analog of thermodynamic potentials, termed transfer potentials. The economy model is based on three common transfers modes of wealth: random transfer, profit proportional to wealth and motivation of poor agents to work harder. The economies never reach steady state. Wealth condensation is t...
