New version of quantum mechanics at finite temperatures as a ground for description of nearly perfect fluids

Alexander D. Sukhanov, O. N. Golubjeva

We suggest a more general than quantum statistical mechanics ($QSM$) microdescription of objects in a heat bath taken into account a vacuum as an object environment - modification of quantum mechanics at finite temperatures; we call it $(\hbar, k)$-dynamics ($ \hbar kD$). This approach allows us in a new manner to calculate some important macroparameters and to modify standard thermodynamics. We create an effective apparatus for features description of nearly perfect fluids in various mediums. As an essentially new model of an object environment we suppose a quantum heat bath and its properties, including cases of cold and warm vacuums, are studied. We describe the thermal equilibrium state in place of the traditional density operator in term of a wave function the amplitude and phase of which have temperature dependence. We introduce a new generative operator, Schroedingerian, or stochastic action operator, and show its fundamental role in the microdescription. We demonstrate that a new macroparameter, namely the effective action, can be obtained through averaging of the Schroedingerian over the temperature dependent wave function. It is established that such different parameters as internal energy, effective temperature, and effective entropy and their fluctuations can be expressed through a single quantity - the effective action.

Quantum-Thermal Fluctuations of Effective Macroparameters and Their Correlations

Alexander D. Sukhanov, O. N. Golubjeva, V. G. Baryakhtar

The application of the conventional theory of macroparameter fluctuations has been shown to go beyond the framework of the thermodynamic description in a number of cases. The principles of the theory of quantum-thermal fluctuations of effectivemacroparameters and their correlations have been formulated. The theory satisfies the applicability conditions of equilibriumthermodynamics and is based on effective macroparameters, which take the integral stochastic action of the environment into account at any temperatures. The correlator of conjugate macroparameters, namely, the effective entropy and the effective temperature, has been calculated. The correlator was found to be proportional to the effective action which characterizes the stochastic environment. The pair correlators for the conjugate effective parameters "entropy–temperature" and "coordinate–momentum" have been demonstrated to depend linearly on the effective action, with their minimum values being determined by Planck's constant.
