The Impossible Process: Thermodynamic Reversibility
Standard descriptions of thermodynamically reversible processes attribute contradictory properties to them: they are in equilibrium yet still change their state. Or they are comprised of non-equilibrium states that are so close to equilibrium that the difference does not matter. One cannot have states that both change and no not change at the same time. In place of this internally contradictory...
متن کاملOn thermodynamic and microscopic reversibility
The word ‘reversible’ has two (apparently) distinct applications in statistical thermodynamics. A thermodynamically reversible process indicates an experimental protocol for which the entropy change is zero, whereas the principle of microscopic reversibility asserts that the probability of any trajectory of a system through phase space equals that of the time reversed trajectory. However, these...
متن کاملThe Reversibility of Interacting Fleming-Viot Processes
Fleming-Viot process is a mathematical model in population genetics. It is a probabilitymeasure-valued process describing the relative frequencies of allelic types in a large population undergoing mutation, selection and genetic drift. The interacting Fleming-Viot process describes the evolution of a collection of Fleming-Viot processes in which those Fleming-Viot processes interact with each o...
متن کاملA Reversibility Problem for Fleming-viot Processes
Fleming-Viot processes incorporating mutation and selection are considered. It is well-known that if the mutation factor is of uniform type, the process has a reversible stationary distribution, and it has been an open problem to characterize the class of the processes that have reversible stationary distributions. This paper proves that if a Fleming-Viot process has a reversible stationary dis...
متن کاملDesigning optimal discrete-feedback thermodynamic engines
Feedback can be utilized to convert information into useful work, making it an effective tool for increasing the performance of thermodynamic engines. Using feedback reversibility as a guiding principle, we devise a method for designing optimal feedback protocols for thermodynamic engines that extracts all the information gained during feedback as work. Our method is based on the observation th...
