What Is Psychological Spin? A Thermodynamic Framework for Emotions and Social Behavior
Psych, 2023 One of the most puzzling questions in neuroscience is the nature of emotions and their role in consciousness. The brain’s significant energy investment in maintaining the resting state indicates its essential role as the ground state of consciousness ...

Compatibility of Carnot efficiency with finite power in an underdamped Brownian Carnot cycle in small temperature-difference regime. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 We study the possibility of achieving the Carnot efficiency in a finite-power underdamped Brownian Carnot cycle. Recently, it was reported that the Carnot efficiency is achievable in a general class of finite-power Carnot cycles in the vanishing limit of

Limiting Performance of the Ejector Refrigeration Cycle with Pure Working Fluids
Entropy, 2023 An ejector refrigeration system is a promising heat-driven refrigeration technology for energy consumption. The ideal cycle of an ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC) is a compound cycle with an inverse Carnot cycle driven by a Carnot cycle. The coefficient

The Principle of Least Action for Reversible Thermodynamic Processes and Cycles
Entropy, 2018 The principle of least action, which is usually applied to natural phenomena, can also be used in optimization problems with manual intervention. Following a brief introduction to the brachistochrone problem in classical mechanics, the principle of least

The thermodynamics of cognition: A mathematical treatment
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021 There is a general expectation that the laws of classical physics must apply to biology, particularly the neural system. The evoked cycle represents the brain's energy/information exchange with the physical environment through stimulus.

Quantum mechanical Carnot engine [PDF]
, 2000 A cyclic thermodynamic heat engine runs most efficiently if it is reversible. Carnot constructed such a reversible heat engine by combining adiabatic and isothermal processes for a system containing an ideal gas.

Chemical and Mechanical Aspect of Entropy-Exergy Relationship
Entropy, 2021 The present research focuses the chemical aspect of entropy and exergy properties. This research represents the complement of a previous treatise already published and constitutes a set of concepts and definitions relating to the entropy–exergy ...
