”Latent heat” of first-order varying pressure transitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the energy release associated with first-order transition by Gibbs construction. Universal formulae for the energy release from one homogeneous phase to the other is given. We find the energy release per converted particle varies with number density. As an example, the deconfinement phase transition at supranuclear densities is discussed in detail. The mean energy release per converted baryon is of order 0.1MeV, much smaller than the energy release of phase transition by Maxwell construction, in RMF theory description for hadronic matter and MIT bag description for strange quark matter for a wider parameter region. PACS numbers: 97.60.Jd, 05.70.Fh, 12.38.Mh, 64.60.-i

متن کاملLatent heat in the chiral phase transition
A many-particle system in general possesses two or more different forms of existence called phases. Conversions between these phases are called phase transitions. There are mainly two kinds of phase transitions. One is the first-order phase transition, the other is the secondorder one. In the first-order phase transition, as in the conversion from vapor to liquid, the entropy of the system chan...
متن کاملThe Strength of First and Second Order Phase Transitions from Partition Function Zeroes
We present a numerical technique employing the density of partition function zeroes (i) to distinguish between phase transitions of first and higher order, (ii) to examine the crossover between such phase transitions and (iii) to measure the strength of first and second order phase transitions in the form of latent heat and critical exponents. These techniques are demonstrated in applications t...

We consider the energy release associated with first-order transition by Gibbs construction and present such energy release as an accumulation of a series of tiny binding energy differences between over-compressed states and stable ones. Universal formulae for the energy release from one homogeneous phase to the other is given. We find the energy release per converted particle varies with numbe...
