Thermodynamic dual structure of linear-dissipative driven systems.

چکیده

It is often assumed that maximization of the statistical entropy cannot account for the spontaneous emergence of currents or compositional heterogeneity associated with them, and that other principles involving entropy production (its maximization or minimization) must be invoked to explain the emergence and robustness of the order in driven dissipative systems. I show for a class of simple models with driving and linear dissipation that the assumption is invalid. For dynamical ensembles, the exact entropy generally becomes a function of currents as well as the familiar equilibrium state variables, and from this richer dependence a full thermodynamic dual structure can be constructed, which predicts both emergence and robustness of nonequilibrium order. In systems of this type, the need for entropy production principles arises only if the exact entropy is replaced with a coarse-grained entropy function of the equilibrium state variables alone. I briefly consider some simple applications to thermal "ratchets," in which induced cyclic currents display the essential elements of Onsager cycling in chemical reaction graphs.

Theoretical Analysis of Polarization Rotation angle in Dual Reflector Antenna

Because of special structure, a dual reflector antenna has beam rotation capability in azimuth and elevation directions. In this structure, the antenna beam can be placed in any point in the space by mechanical movement of twist reflector which it is the most important ability of the antenna. Due to the antenna structure, if the polarization of incident wave is linear, it is expected that the p...

The Quantum Dissipative Villain Model

We introduce the Quantum Dissipative Villain (QDV) model as a prototype model to study tunneling in dissipative quantum mechanics. Dissipation is provided by a coupled linear environment. In the QDV model, the discrete character of a tunneling degree of freedom coupled to an environment is explicit, leading to a rich dual structure. We derive general exact mappings of the QDV model on several d...

Dual Space Control of a Deployable Cable Driven Robot: Wave Based Approach

Known for their lower costs and numerous applications, cable robots are an attractive research field in robotic community. However, considering the fact that they require an accurate installation procedure and calibration routine, they have not yet found their true place in real-world applications. This paper aims to propose a new controller strategy that requires no meticulous calibration and ...
