Action and Entropy in Heat Engines: An Action Revision of the Carnot Cycle

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Despite the remarkable success of Carnot’s heat engine cycle in founding the discipline of thermodynamics two centuries ago, false viewpoints of his use of the caloric theory in the cycle linger, limiting his legacy.

Caloric curve for finite nuclei in Thomas-Fermi theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review C, 1997
In a finite temperature Thomas-Fermi theory with realistic nuclear interactions, we construct caloric curves for finite nuclei enclosed in a sphere of about $4 - 8$ times the normal nuclear volume. The specific heat capacity $C_v$ shows a peaked structure that is possibly indicative of a liquid-gas phase transition in finite nuclear systems.

Brain Mass (Energy) Resistant to Hyperglycaemic Oversupply: A Systematic Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Cerebral energy supply is determined by the energy content of the blood. Accordingly, the brain is undersupplied during hypoglycaemia. Whether or not there is an additional cerebral energy demand that depends upon the energy content of the brain is ...

Refrigeration Performance and Entropy Generation Analysis for Reciprocating Magnetic Refrigerator with Gd Plates

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
In the current work, a novel 2D numerical model of stationary grids was developed for reciprocating magnetic refrigerators, with Gd plates, in which the magneto-caloric properties, derived from the Weiss molecular field theory, were adopted for the built-

Frustrated magnetism and caloric effects in Mn-based antiperovskite nitrides: Ab initio theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review B, 2017
We model changes of magnetic ordering in Mn-antiperovskite nitrides driven by biaxial lattice strain at zero and at finite temperature. We employ a non-collinear spin-polarised density functional theory to compare the response of the geometrically frustrated exchange interactions to a tetragonal symmetry breaking (the so called piezomagnetic effect ...
