Nonlinearly charged AdS black holes, extended phase space thermodynamics and Joule–Thomson expansion

Abstract

We study thermodynamics and phase transitions of magnetically charged by nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) Anti-de Sitter (AdS) black holes in an extended phase space. The cosmological constant is treated as a thermodynamic pressure whereas the black hole mass is considered such as the chemical enthalpy. The horizon thermodynamics of black holes shows an analogy with the Van der Walls liquid–gas system. We define a quantities which are conjugated to the parameter of NED and a magnetic charge. It is shown that the first law of thermodynamics and the generalized Smarr relation hold. The critical exponents are the same as in the Van der Waals system. The Joule–Thomson adiabatic expansion of NED-AdS black holes is investigated because of thermodynamic behavior of black holes. The Joule–Thomson coefficient, the inversion and isenthalpic curves are discussed. The minimum of inversion temperature and the corresponding event horizon radius are obtained.
