Dissipative Heat Decomposition in Stochastic Energetics: Implication of the Instantaneous Diffusion Coefficient in Nonequilibrium Steady States
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a decomposition expression for dissipative heat using the instantaneous diffusion coefficient in a nonequilibrium steady state. The dissipative heat can be expressed using three diffusion coefficients: instantaneous, equilibrium, and drift. An experimental application of the decomposition expression permits us to evaluate the heat dissipation rate from singletrajectory data only. We also numerically demonstrate this method.

Energetics of single active diffusion trajectories
The fundamental insight into Brownian motion by Einstein is that all substances exhibit continual fluctuations due to thermal agitation balancing with the frictional resistance. However, even at thermal equilibrium, biological activity can give rise to non-equilibrium fluctuations that cause “active diffusion” in living cells. Because of the non-stationary and non-equilibrium nature of such flu...
متن کاملMesoscopic virial equation for nonequilibrium statistical mechanics
We derive a class of mesoscopic virial equations governing energy partition between conjugate position and momentum variables of individual degrees of freedom. They are shown to apply to a wide range of nonequilibrium steady states with stochastic (Langevin) and deterministic (Nosé–Hoover) dynamics, and to extend to collective modes for models of heat-conducting lattices. A macroscopic virial t...
متن کاملNonequilibrium steady states
This paper contains rigorous results on nonequilibrium steady states for a class of particle systems coupled to unequal heat baths. These stochastic models are derived from the mechanical chains studied by Eckmann and Young by randomizing certain quantities while retaining other features of the model. Our results include the existence and uniqueness of nonequilibrium steady states, their relati...
متن کاملMimicking Nonequilibrium Steady States with Time-Periodic Driving
Under static conditions, a system satisfying detailed balance generically relaxes to an equilibrium state in which there are no currents. To generate persistent currents, either detailed balance must be broken or the system must be driven in a time-dependent manner. A stationary system that violates detailed balance evolves to a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) characterized by fixed currents...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Steady State Thermodynamics and Fluctuations for Stochastic Systems
We use the work done on and the heat removed from a system to maintain it in a nonequilibrium steady state for a thermodynamic-like description of such a system as well as of its fluctuations. Based on a generalized Onsager-Machlup theory for nonequilibrium steady states we indicate two ambiguities, not present in an equilibrium state, in defining such work and heat: one due to a non-uniqueness...
