Necessity of Dark Energy from Thermodynamic Arguments
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2014 Considering the cosmic fluid as a quasi-static thermodynamic system, the status of the generalized second law of thermodynamics is investigated and the valid range of the equation of state parameter is derived for a few important cosmological models. Our

Solution thermodynamics for “reactive” components
Fluid Phase Equilibria, 1981 Abstract A unifying mathematical analysis is presented for the thermodynamic properties of a system of components which undergo chemical transformations (reaction, association, solvation, ionization) or are modelled as such (“chemical theory”, “solutions of groups”) in terms of the properties of the resultant species. Several examples are given.

Communications Materials, 2023 Liquid metal dealloying is a promising technique to produce bicontinuous porous metals with high specific surface areas. This processing technique relies on the selective dissolution of a component from a precursor alloy into a metal bath while the ...

Dynamical arrest of ultracold lattice fermions [PDF]
, 2013 We theoretically investigate the thermodynamics of an interacting inhomogeneous two-component Fermi gas in an optical lattice. Motivated by a recent experiment by L.

Statistical Thermodynamics of Clustered Populations [PDF]
, 2014 We present a thermodynamic theory for a generic population of $M$ individuals distributed into $N$ groups (clusters). We construct the ensemble of all distributions with fixed $M$ and $N$, introduce a selection functional that embodies the physics that ...

Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2006 This work reviews recent progress in the application of continuous thermodynamics towards calculation of phase equilibria in natural-gas mixtures. In such mixtures, there may be too many components to identify each component individually.

Conditions for and Characteristics of the Dispersion of Gel Fuel Droplets during Ignition
Applied Sciences, 2023 We formulated and experimentally proved a hypothesis on the causes of dispersion (puffing and microexplosion) of binary fuel droplets, including those in the composition of gel fuels. This hypothesis is based on the concepts of wetting thermodynamics and
