In a mesoscopic limit where both dynamics compete we identify bulk-driven phase transitions. We employ mean-field theory complemented by Monte-Carlo simulations to characterize the emerging non-equilibrium steady states. Monte-Carlo simulations reveal interesting correlation effects that we explain phenomenologically.4 pages, 3 figuresStatistical MechanicsSoft Condensed MatterBulk-driven non-equilibrium phase transitions in a mesoscopic ringtext
