Pressure and volume in the first law of black hole thermodynamics

Dolan, Brian P.

Abstract

The mass of a black hole is interpreted, in terms of thermodynamic potentials, as being the enthalpy, with the pressure given by the cosmological constant. The volume is then defined as being the Legendre transform of the pressure and the resulting relation between volume and pressure is explored in the case of positive pressure. A virial expansion is developed and a van der Waals like critical point determined. The first law of black hole thermodynamics includes a PdV term which modifies the maximal efficiency of a Penrose process. It is shown that, in four dimensional space-time with a negative cosmological constant, an extremal charged rotating black hole can have an efficiency of up to 75%, while for an electrically neutral rotating back hole this figure is reduced to 52%, compared to the corresponding values of 50% and 29% respectively when the cosmological constant is zero.

PACS nos: 04.60.-m; 04.70.Dy 1 In oduc ion The he modynamics o black holes is a ich and ascina ing a ea o esea ch which con inues o yield su p ises. The i s law o black hole he modynam- ics is usually w i en as dM =TdS + ΩdJ + ΦdQ (1) whe e T=κ 2πis he Hawking empe a u e o he black hole (wi h κ he su ace g a i y), S=A 4 he en opy (wi h A he a ea in Planck uni s), Ω he angula eloci y, J he angula momen um, Φ he elec os a ic po en ial di e ence be ween in ini y and he ho izon, Q he elec ic cha ge and M he mass. The mass is usually in e p e ed as he in e nal ene gy, in he he modynamic sense, o he black hole, bu i was sugges ed in [1] ha i is mo e co ec ly in e p e ed as he en halpy. In his con ex i is no able ha he e is no PdV e m in (1), co esponding o a change in olume a ambien p essu e P. When a cosmological cons an , Λ, is included he e is a na u al candida e o a p essu e, P=−Λ 8π, and i was p oposed in [2] ha he olume o he black hole be de ined as he he modynamic a iable conjuga e o P. In e p e ing he mass as he en halpy, equa ion (1) should hen be modi ied o dM =TdS +V dP + ΩdJ + ΦdQ, (2) whe e he he modynamic olume is de ined o be V=∂M ∂P S,J,Q, [1]. The idea ha Λ should be hough o as a he modynamic a iable ha can be a ied is no new and has been conside ed by a numbe o au ho s, [3]-[9]. Equa ion (2), wi h Q= 0, was s udied in [8], in he con ex o a ying Λ, wi hou any pa icula physical in e p e a ion being gi en o he he mody- namic conjuga e o Λ, o en deno ed Θ. One may ques ion whe he i is app op ia e o iden i y Λ wi h a he mo- dynamic p essu e. While a cosmological cons an gi es a p essu e e m in Eins ein’s equa ions, a luid dynamical p essu e is no necessa ily he same as a he modynamic p essu e. In equilib ium si ua ions howe e i is p esum- ably co ec o iden i y he luid dynamical p essu e wi h he he modynamic p essu e and we shall do so he e. In gene al he en halpy, H, is he hea ene gy belo ed o chemis s, i is no he in e nal ene gy, U, o he i s law o he modynamics. Tha dis inc ion goes o he Legend e ans o m o he en halpy, U=H−PV, (3) 1 whe e His a unc ion o S,P,Jand Qwhile U(S, V, J, Q) is a unc ion o pu ely ex ensi e a iables. Then we ge he usual o m o he i s law, dU =TdS −PdV + ΩdJ + ΦdQ. (4) This equa ion was w i en down in [9], using Θ −Λ no a ion, bu i s conse- quences we e no pu sued. When Λ is non-ze o we should expec he P dV e m o con ibu e o he mechanical ene gy ha can be ex ac ed om a black hole, by a Pen ose p ocess o example. Fo a nega i e Λ (posi i e p essu e) he PdV e m gi es a posi i e con ibu ion o dU i he black hole sh inks, and he P dV e m educes he amoun o ene gy a ailable o ex ac ion as mechanical wo k W, wi h dW =−dU, hence educing he e iciency. Howe e we shall show ha he maximal e iciency ac ually inc eases, ela i e o he Λ = 0 case, when Λ<0, because he maximal angula momen um o a black hole in AdS is g ea e han ha o one wi h Λ = 0 and his can ou weigh he educ ion in e iciency: he engine may no be as e icien a a gi en Jbu i can be pushed o highe J. Con e sely one would expec ha , o a posi i e Λ mo e ene gy becomes a ailable a a gi en J, ela i e o Λ = 0, as he black hole sh inks. O cou se he e a e no pis ons pushing agains a gas o a black hole, bu a nega i e cosmological cons an con ibu es a nega i e ene gy densi y o space- ime so a sh inking black-hole exposes nega i e ene gy, hus inc easing he black hole’s in e nal ene gy and dec easing he amoun o ene gy a ail- able o mechanical wo k. Con e sely a posi i e cosmological cons an would p esumably elease ex a ene gy as he black hole sh inks, ha can be used o do wo k, hence inc easing he e iciency a a gi en J. The mos e icien way o ex ac ene gy om a black hole is in an isen- opic p ocess, wi h dS = 0 and he a ea o he e en ho izon cons an . So dU ≥dUmin =−PdV + ΩdJ + ΦdQ. (5) We shall see ha , o a o a ing black hole, i is possible o educe Vwhile keeping Scons an . The maximum amoun o mechanical wo k ha can be ex ac ed in passing om an ini ial s a e i o a inal s a e is Wmax =−Z i dUmin.(6) 2 The e iciency is de ined o be he a io o he mechanical ene gy ex ac ed o he ini ial hea ene gy (en halpy), η=Wmax Mi ,(7) whe e he ini ial en halpy is iden i ied wi h he ini ial mass, Mi. I will be shown ha , o Λ <0, his can be as high as 52% o a o a ing neu al black hole and 75% o a cha ged black hole.
