Fluctuation theorem

The query of ways reversible microscopic equations of movement can result in irreversible macroscopic behaviour has been one of many relevant concerns in statistical mechanics for greater than a century. the elemental concerns have been recognized to Gibbs. Boltzmann carried out a truly public debate with Loschmidt and others and not using a passable answer.

Complex Dynamics of Glass-Forming Liquids: A Mode-Coupling Theory

The ebook comprises the single on hand whole presentation of the mode-coupling conception (MCT) of advanced dynamics of glass-forming drinks, dense polymer melts, and colloidal suspensions. It describes in a self-contained demeanour the derivation of the MCT equations of movement and explains that the latter outline a version for a statistical description of non-linear dynamics.

Statistical thermodynamics and microscale thermophysics

Many intriguing new advancements in microscale engineering are in line with the appliance of conventional rules of statistical thermodynamics. during this textual content Van Carey bargains a latest view of thermodynamics, interweaving classical and statistical thermodynamic ideas and employing them to present engineering structures.

G. 47) (φ → Φ) [48, 154]. Thus for thermodynamic equilibrium configurations microscopic and macroscopic derivation yield the same ansatz for G(Φ, X, r). Furthermore the microscopic approach provides additional insight into the nature of diffuse interface models. It yields an understanding, that the finite interface thickness of a diffuse interface model and the surface energy term originate from finite correlation lengths on a microscopic scale. Moreover – assuming nearest neighbor interaction and constant coupling constant J – interface thickness and surface energy are proportional to J.
