Beyond heat baths: Generalized resource theories for small-scale thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics has recently been extended to small scales with resource theories that model heat exchanges. Real physical systems exchange diverse quantities: heat, particles, angular momentum, etc. We generalize thermodynamic resource theories to exchanges of observables other than heat, to baths other than heat baths, and to free energies other than the Helmholtz free energy. These generaliza...

متن کاملMesoscopic Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics for the Stochastic Dynamics of Small-scale Systems
We show how to extend the use of thermodynamic concepts into the mesoscopic domain where fluctuations and nonlinearities play an important role. The theory presented: mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics, provides a new interpretation of local equilibrium that is formulated at small scales. From it one derives kinetic equations and nonlinear transport equation for the study of small-scale s...
متن کاملMesoscopic Thermodynamics for the Dynamics of Small-Scale Systems
We analyze the mesoscopic dynamics of small-scale systems from the perspective of mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The theory obtains the Fokker–Planck equation as a diffusion equation for the probability density of the mesoscopic variables and the nonlinear relationships between activation rates and affinities proper of activated processes. The situations that can be studied with thi...
متن کاملStochastic Independence, Algebraic Independence and Connectedness
Mutual stochastic independences among-algebras and mutual algebraic inde-pendences among elements of semimodular lattices are observed to have a very similar behaviour. We suggest abstract independence structures called I-relations describing it. Presented examination of I-relations resembles a theory of abstract connectedness: a dual characterization of I-relations by families of connected set...
