Thermodynamically consistent gradient elasticity with an internal variable [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2020 The role of thermodynamics in continuum mechanics and the derivation of proper constitutive relations is a topic discussed in Rational Mechanics. The classical literature did not use the accumulated knowledge of thermostatics and was very critical of the

Entropy, 2023 In this paper, we ask ourselves how non-local effects affect the description of thermodynamic systems with internal variables. Usually, one assumes that the internal variables are local, but that their evolution equations are non-local, i.e., for ...

The statistical foundation of entropy in extended irreversible thermodynamics [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2020 In the theory of extended irreversible thermodynamics (EIT), the flux-dependent entropy function plays a key role; it is a fundamental distinction between EIT and the usual flux-independent entropy function adopted by classical irreversible ...

Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, 2023 The wide-spread opinion is that original quantum mechanics is a reversible theory, but this statement is only true for undecomposed systems that are those systems for which sub-systems are out of consideration.

Irreversible entropy production: From classical to quantum [PDF]
Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend thermodynamic considerations all the way to non-equilibrium processes. It is also

Entropy Principle and Recent Results in Non-Equilibrium Theories
Entropy, 2014 We present the state of the art on the modern mathematical methods of exploiting the entropy principle in thermomechanics of continuous media. A survey of recent results and conceptual discussions of this topic in some well-known non-equilibrium theories

How Flexible Is the Concept of Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium?
Entropy, 2023 It has been demonstrated by using generalized phenomenological irreversible thermodynamic theory (GPITT) that by replacing the conventional composition variables {xk} by the quantum level composition variables {x˜k,j} corresponding to the nonequilibrium ...

Stochastic Thermodynamics of Brownian Motion
Entropy, 2017 A stochastic thermodynamics of Brownian motion is set up in which state functions are expressed in terms of state variables through the same relations as in classical irreversible thermodynamics, with the difference that the state variables are now ...

A thermodynamical model for population growth with relaxation phenomena
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2022 Reaction-diffusion models were used in dynamic fluid, population growth, pulse propagation in nerves and other biological phenomena. Some of these models have been expanded to describe memory effects in diffusion and therefore with the use of hyperbolic ...
