We investigate the thermodynamics of FRW (Friedmann-Robertson-Walker) universe in the extended phase space. We generalize the unified first law with a cosmological constant $Lambda$ by using the Misner-Sharp energy. We treat the cosmological constant as the thermodynamic pressure of the system, and derive thermodynamic equation of state $P = P(V, T)$ for the FRW universe. To clarify our general result, we present two applications of this thermodynamic equation of state, including Joule-Thomson expansions and efficiency of the Carnot heat engines. These investigations lead to physical insights of the evolution of the universe in view of thermodynamics.

In this paper, we investigate the thermal stability and Joule-Thomson expansion of some new qusitopological black hole solutions. We first study the higher-dimensional static quasitopological black hole solutions in the presence of Born-Infeld, exponential and logarithmic nonlinear electrodynamics. The stable regions of these solutions are independent of the types of the nonlinear electrodynamics. The solutions with the horizons relating to the positive constant curvature, $k=+1$, have a larger region in thermal stability, if we choose positive quasitopological coefficients, $mu_{i}>0$. We also have a review on the power Maxwell quasitopological black hole. Then, we obtain the five-dimensional Yang-Mills quasitopological black hole solution and compare with the quasitopological Maxwell solution. For large values of the electric charge, $q$, and the Yang-Mills charge, $e$, we showed that the stable range of the Maxwell quasitopological black hole is larger than the Yang-Mills one. This is while thermal stability for small charges has the same behavior for these black holes. In the following, we obtain the thermodynamic quantities for these solutions and then study the Joule-Thomson expansion. We consider the temperature changes in an isenthalpy process during this expansion. The obtained results show that the inversion curves can divide the isenthalpic ones into two parts in the inversion pressure, $P_{i}$. For $P<P_{i}$, a cooling phenomena with positive slope happens in $T-P$ diagram, while there is a heating process with negative slope for $P>P_{i}$. As the values of the nonlinear parameter, $beta$, the electric and Yang-Mills charges decrease, the temperature goes to zero with a small slope and so the heating phenomena happens slowly.
In this paper, we study Joule-Thomson expansion for Hayward-AdS black hole in the extended phase space, and obtain a Joule-Thomson expansion formula for the black hole. We plot the inversion and isenthalpic curves in the T-P plane, and determine the cooling-heating regions. The intersection points of the isenthalpic and inversion curves are exactly the inversion points discriminating the heating process from the cooling one.
In this paper, we attempt to study the Joule-Thomson expansion for the regular black hole in an anti-de Sitter background, and obtain the inversion temperature and curve for the Bardeen-AdS black hole in the extended phase space. We investigate the isenthalpic and inversion curves for the Bardeen-AdS black hole in the T-P plane to find the intersection points between them are exactly the inversion points discriminating the heating process from the cooling one. And, the inversion curve for the regular(Bardeen)-AdS black hole is not closed and there is only a lower inversion curve in contrast with that of the Van der Walls fluid. Most importantly, we find the ratio between the minimum inversion and critical temperature for the regular(Bardeen)-AdS black hole is 0.536622, which is always larger than all the already-known ratios for the singular black hole. This larger ratio for the Bardeen-AdS black hole in contrast with the singular black hole may stem from the fact that there is a repulsive de Sitter core near the origin of the regular black hole.
In this paper, we study the thermodynamics especially the $P$-$V$ criticality of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe in the novel 4-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity, where we define the thermodynamic pressure $P$ from the cosmological constant $Lambda$ as $P=-frac{Lambda}{8pi}$. We obtain the first law of thermodynamics and equation of state of the FRW universe. We find that, if the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant $alpha$ is positive, there is no $P$-$V$ phase transition. If $alpha$ is negative, there are $P$-$V$ phase transitions and critical behaviors within $-1/3leqomegaleq1/3$. Particularly, there are two critical points of the $P$-$V$ criticality in the case $alpha<0,~-1/3<omega<1/3$. We investigate these $P$-$V$ criticality around the critical points, and calculate the critical exponents. We find that these critical exponents in the $-1/3<omegaleq1/3$ case are consistent with those in the mean field theory, and hence satisfy the scaling laws.
We examine the class of initial conditions which give rise to inflation. Our analysis is carried out for several popular models including: Higgs inflation, Starobinsky inflation, chaotic inflation, axion monodromy inflation and non-canonical inflation. In each case we determine the set of initial conditions which give rise to sufficient inflation, with at least $60$ e-foldings. A phase-space analysis has been performed for each of these models and the effect of the initial inflationary energy scale on inflation has been studied numerically. This paper discusses two scenarios of Higgs inflation: (i) the Higgs is coupled to the scalar curvature, (ii) the Higgs Lagrangian contains a non-canonical kinetic term. In both cases we find Higgs inflation to be very robust since it can arise for a large class of initial conditions. One of the central results of our analysis is that, for plateau-like potentials associated with the Higgs and Starobinsky models, inflation can be realised even for initial scalar field values which lie close to the minimum of the potential. This dispels a misconception relating to plateau potentials prevailing in the literature. We also find that inflation in all models is more robust for larger values of the initial energy scale.
