Abstract

In the present work, particle creation mechanism has been employed to the Universe as a thermodynamical system. The Universe is considered to be a spatially flat FRW model and cosmic fluid is chosen as a perfect fluid with a barotropic equation of state -- p=(γ1)ρp = (\gamma -1)\rho. By proper choice of the particle creation rate, expressions for the entropy and temperature have been determined at various stages of evolution of the Universe. Finally, using the deceleration parameter qq as a function of the redshift parameter zz based on recent observations, the particle creation rate has been evaluated and its variation at different epochs have been shown graphically.
