Nonequilibrium fluctuation-induced Casimir pressures in liquid mixtures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article we derive expressions for Casimir-like pressures induced by nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations in liquid mixtures. The results are then applied to liquid mixtures in which the concentration gradient results from a temperature gradient through the Soret effect. A comparison is made between the pressures induced by nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations in liquid mixtures and those induced by nonequilibrium temperature fluctuations in one-component fluids. Some suggestions for experimental verification procedures are also presented.

Nonequilibrium Casimir-like Forces in Liquid Mixtures.
In this Letter, we consider a liquid mixture confined between two thermally conducting walls subjected to a stationary temperature gradient. While in a one-component liquid nonequilibrium fluctuation forces appear inside the liquid layer, nonequilibrium fluctuations in a mixture induce a Casimir-like force on the walls. The physical reason is that the temperature gradient induces large concentr...
متن کاملFluctuation-induced pressures in fluids in thermal nonequilibrium steady states.
Correlations in fluids in nonequilibrium steady states are long range. Hence, finite-size effects have important consequences in the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of fluids. One consequence is that nonequilibrium temperature fluctuations induce nonequilibrium Casimir-like pressures proportional to the square of the temperature gradient. Hence, fluctuations cause a breakdown of the concept of lo...
متن کاملGiant Casimir effect in fluids in nonequilibrium steady states.
In this Letter, we consider the fluctuation-induced force exerted between two plates separated by a distance L in a fluid with a temperature gradient. We predict that for a range of distances L, this nonequilibrium force is anomalously large compared to other Casimir forces. The physical reason is that correlations in a nonequilibrium fluid are generally of longer range than other correlations,...
متن کاملDynamical approach to the Casimir effect.
Casimir forces can appear between intrusions placed in different media driven by several fluctuation mechanisms, either in equilibrium or out of it. Herein, we develop a general formalism to obtain such forces from the dynamical equations of the fluctuating medium, the statistical properties of the driving noise, and the boundary conditions of the intrusions (which simulate the interaction betw...
متن کاملFluctuation-Induced Forces in Nonequilibrium Diffusive Dynamics.
Fluctuations in nonequilibrium steady states generically lead to power law decay of correlations for conserved quantities. Embedded bodies which constrain fluctuations, in turn, experience fluctuation induced forces. We compute these forces for the simple case of parallel slabs in a driven diffusive system. Our model calculations show that the force falls off with slab separation d as kBT/d (at...
