Fluctuation Relation

The turbulent thermal convection on the Sun is an example of an irreversible non-equilibrium phenomenon in a quasi-steady state characterized by a continuous entropy production rate. Here, the statistical features of a proxy of the local entropy production rate, in solar quiet regions at different timescales, are investigated and compared with the symmetry conjecture of the steady-state fluctuation theorem by Gallavotti and Cohen. Our results show that solar turbulent convection satisfies the symmetries predicted by the fluctuation relation of the Gallavotti and Cohen theorem at a local level.

Catalytic surface reaction networks exhibit nonlinear dissipative phenomena, such as bistability. Macroscopic rate law descriptions predict that the reaction system resides on one of the two steady-state branches of the bistable region for an indefinite period of time. However, the smaller the catalytic surface, the greater the influence of coverage fluctuations, given that their amplitude normally scales as the square root of the system size. Thus, one can observe fluctuation-induced transitions between the steady-states. In this work, a model for the bistable catalytic CO oxidation on small surfaces is studied. After a brief introduction of the average stochastic modelling framework and its corresponding deterministic limit, we discuss the non-equilibrium conditions necessary for bistability. The entropy production rate, an important thermodynamic quantity measuring dissipation in a system, is compared across the two approaches. We conclude that, in our catalytic model, the most favorable non-equilibrium steady state is not necessary the state with the maximum or minimum entropy production rate.
