Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, an extension of thermodynamics to (time-independent) steady states has extensively been attempted with some positive symptoms. Theoretical consideration is, needless to say, insufficient as a concrete physical science. This project aimed at finding typical substances that respond prominently to the deviation from equilibrium. Thermo-analytical equipment was constructed to detect sensitively the shift of a phase transition temperature in a liquid crystalline sample under steady flow of heat. No results of measurements performed to date require the steady state thermodynamics.
