Composable entropy and deviation from macroscopic equilibrium
نویسنده
چکیده
We formulate, under general conditions, the problem of maximisation of the total entropy of the system, assumed to be in a composable form, for fixed total value of the constrained quantity. We derive the general form of the composability function and also point out the criterion which leads to a violation of the zeroth law of thermodynamics. ∗e-mail: [email protected]

Minimum entropy production principle from a dynamical fluctuation law
The minimum entropy production principle provides an approximative variational characterization of close-to-equilibrium stationary states, both for macroscopic systems and for stochastic models. Analyzing the fluctuations of the empirical distribution of occupation times for a class of Markov processes, we identify the entropy production as the large deviation rate function, up to leading order...
متن کاملLandau Damping and Entropy
It is shown that the well-known LANDAu-damping entropy paradox can be resolved by considering a macroscopic entropy as defined by CLAUSIUS instead of the microscopic entropy defined by BOLTZMANN. Although both entropy definitions are identical for equilibrium configurations, the same in general is not true for non-equilibrium configurations. To extend the entropy definition of CLAUSIUS to non-e...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Production as an Inference Algorithm that Translates Physical Assumptions into Macroscopic Predictions: Don't Shoot the Messenger
Is Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) a physical principle? In this paper I tentatively suggest it is not, on the basis that MEP is equivalent to Jaynes’ Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) inference algorithm that passively translates physical assumptions into macroscopic predictions, as applied to non-equilibrium systems. MaxEnt itself has no physical content; disagreement between MaxEnt predictions and e...
متن کاملClassification and discussion of macroscopic entropy production principles
In this article a classification of some proposed macroscopic entropy production (MEP) principles is given. With the help of simple electrical network models, at least six interesting and most used principles are distinguished: the least dissipation, the near-equilibrium (linear) minimum entropy production (MinEP), the near-equilibrium (linear) maximum entropy production (MaxEP), the far-from-e...
متن کاملNon equilibrium current fluctuations in stochastic lattice gases
We study current fluctuations in lattice gases in the macroscopic limit extending the dynamic approach for density fluctuations developed in previous articles. More precisely, we establish a large deviation principle for a space-time fluctuation j of the empirical current with a rate functional I(j). We then estimate the probability of a fluctuation of the average current over a large time inte...
