Abstract: We present a simple and thermodynamically consistent cosmology with a phenomenological model of quantum creation of radiation due to vacuum decay. Thermodynamics and Einstein's equations lead to an equation in which is determined by the particle number . The model is completed by specifying the particle creation rate , which leads to a second-order evolution equation for . We propose a simple that is naturally defined and that conforms to the thermodynamical conditions: (a) the entropy production rate starts at a maximum; (b) the initial vacuum (for radiation) is a non-singular regular vacuum; and (c) the creation rate is initially higher than the expansion rate , but then falls below . The evolution equation for then has a remarkably simple exact solution, in which a non-adiabatic inflationary era exits smoothly to the radiation era, without a reheating transition. For this solution, we give exact expressions for the cosmic scale factor, energy density of radiation and vacuum, temperature, entropy and super-horizon scalar perturbations.
