Abstract:
This paper investigates some implications of mimetic gravity on the black hole thermodynamics. We begin with an analysis of the mimetic action and its relationship to the spacetime curvature, highlighting the field equations and their contributions to the black hole solutions. Then we explore the behavior of various thermodynamic parameters including pressure, temperature and heat capacity, revealing some intriguing features of the system near the event horizon. We analyze also the inversion temperatures, inversion curves and the Joule-Thomson coefficients to enrich our comprehension of thermodynamic phenomena in this context. By extending coordinates close to the event horizon, we study the Joule-Thomson expansion, demonstrating how strong gravitational fields create pressure gradients similar to gas cooling processes. Comparison between mimetic black hole and Schwarzschild black hole in this setup provides a deeper understanding of the unique characteristics of the mimetic gravity.

Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...
Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
