The nonisothermal single-component theory of droplet nucleation [N. V. Alekseechkin, Physica A 412, 186 (2014)] is extended to binary case; the droplet volume V, composition x, and temperature T are the variables of the theory. An approach based on macroscopic kinetics (in contrast to the standard microscopic model of nucleation operating with the probabilities of monomer attachment and detachm...

We study a dynamical system consisting of a massive piston in a cubical container of large size L filled with an ideal gas. The piston has mass M ∼ L2 and undergoes elastic collisions with N ∼ L3 non-interacting gas particles of mass m = 1. We find that, under suitable initial conditions, there is, in the limit L → ∞, a scaling regime with time and space scaled by L, in which the motion of the ...

A gas-kinetic flux splitting method is developed for the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations. The new scheme is based on the direct splitting of the flux function of the MHD equations with the inclusion of “particle” collisions in the transport process. Consequently, the artificial dissipation in the new scheme is greatly reduced in comparison with the MHD flux vector splitting method. N...

The Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) critical temperature in a relativistic ideal Bose gas of identical bosons, with and without the antibosons expected to be pair-produced abundantly at sufficiently hot temperatures, is exactly calculated for all boson number densities, all boson point rest masses, and all temperatures. The Helmholtz free energy at the critical BEC temperature is lower with an...

The probability distribution of the entropy production for the effusion of an ideal gas between two compartments is calculated explicitly. The fluctuation theorem is verified. The analytic results are in good agreement with numerical data from hard disk molecular dynamics simulations.

The Bousso entropy bound is investigated for static spherically symmetric configurations of ideal gas with Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac distribution function. Gas of massive particles is considered. The paper is continuation of the previous work concerning the massless case. Special attention is devoted to lightsheets generated by spheres. Conditions under which the Bousso bound can be violate...

We derive the microcanonical partition function of the ideal relativistic quantum gas of spinless bosons in a quantum field framework as an expansion over fixed multiplicities. Our calculation generalizes well known expressions in literature in that it does not introduce any large volume approximation and it is valid at any volume. We discuss the issues concerned with the definition of the micr...

We investigate the thermodynamics of ideal gas on the spacetime with noncommutative fuzzy geometry. We first find that the heat capacity of the ideal boson and fermion on the fuzzy two-sphere have different values, contrast to that on the commutative geometry, and see that the heat capacity approaches to zero in high-temperature limit. We next evaluate the heat capacity of the ideal boson and f...

In this paper we simulate a two dimensional relativistic ideal gas by implementing a relativistic elastic binary collision algorithm. We show that the relativistic gas faithfully obeys Jüttner’s speed distribution function. Furthermore, using this numeric simulation in conjunction with the energy equipartition theorem for a relativistic gas, we conclude that a moving system appears cooler.
