Thermodynamics: A Riemannian geometric model

Abstract: By including the theory of fluctuations in the axioms of thermodynamics it is shown that thermodynamic systems can be represented by Riemannian manifolds. Of special interest is the curvature of these manifolds which, for pure fluids, is associated with eA'ective interparticle interaction strength by means of a general thermodynamic "interaction hypothesis. " This interpretation of curvature appears to be consistent with hyperscaling and two-scale-factor universality. The Riemannian geometric model is a new at… Show more

“…There are several methods toward geometrical thermodynamics. The well known ones are: Weinhold [131,132], Ruppeiner [133,134], Quevedo [135,136] and HPEM [137,138]. Their corresponding metrics are in following forms…”

“…The divergencies of thermodynamical Ricci scalar may coincide to bound or phase transition points. So far, four different geometrical methods were introduced; Weinhold [131,132], Ruppeiner [133,134], Quevedo [135,136] and HPEM [137,138]. Several studies in context of black holes with consideration of such methods have been done [139][140][141][142][143][144].…”

“…A pioneering paper on this was by Weinhold [1] who introduced a thermodynamic energy inner product. This led to the work of Ruppeiner [2] who wrote a Riemannian thermodynamic entropy metric to represent thermodynamic fluctuation theory, and was the first to systematically calculate the thermodynamic Ricci curvature scalar R. A parallel effort was by Andresen, Salamon, and Berry [3] who began the systematic application of the thermodynamic entropy metric to finite-time thermodynamic processes.…”

“…In 1976 Weinhold [9][10][11][12][13] proposed a metric, as the Hessian of the internal energy, given as g W ij = ∂ i ∂ j U (S, N r ). Later in 1979, Ruppeiner [14] introduced another metric as the Hessian of entropy, as g R ij = −∂ i ∂ j S (M, N r ). This Ruppeiner metric is conformally equivalent to Weinhold's metric and the geometry that can be obtained from these two methods are related through the relation where [15,16], ds 2 R = 1 T ds 2 W .…”
