Description

The present work describes a model of inflationary scenario with particle creation mechanism, in the frame work of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In the background of homogeneous and isotropic spatially flat FLRW model of the Universe, the cosmic substratum is chosen as dissipative fluid. Here dissipation in the form of bulk viscous pressure is assumed to be due to particle creation formalism. For constant and slow-roll phases of (cold) inflationary scenario, the particle creation rate has been derived and an analogous inflaton field has been calculated. Finally an equivalence of the warm inflation with the present particle creation mechanism has been shown.
