Computational thermodynamics and its applications
Acta Materialia, 2020Abstract Thermodynamics is a science concerning the state of a system, whether it is stable, metastable or unstable, when interacting with the surroundings. In this overview, fundamentals of thermodynamics are briefly reviewed through the combination of first and second laws of thermodynamics for open and nonequilibrium systems to demonstrate that ...

Applications of Computational Thermodynamics
Zeitschrift für Metallkunde, 2002 The major tools used in applying computational thermodynamics to various problems in materials science are briefly presented and several practical examples are given as illustrations. Solutions to industrial problems, pertaining to the processing of and microstructure development in several different materials, are shown with answers given in graphical

Phase diagrams are used in materials research and engineering to understand the interrelationship between composition, microstructure and process conditions. In complex systems, computational methods such as CALPHAD are employed to model thermodynamic properties for each phase and simulate multicomponent phase behavior. Written by recognized experts in

Signal entropy and the thermodynamics of computation
IBM Systems Journal, 1996Electronic computers currently have many orders of magnitude more thermodynamic degrees of freedom than information-bearing ones (bits). Because of this, these levels of description are usually considered separately as hardware and software, but as devices approach fundamental physical limits these will become comparable and must be understood together.

Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2002
A new computer-based approach to teaching thermodynamics is being developed and tried by two mechanical engineering professors at the U.S. Naval Academy. The course uses sophisticated software, in this case CyclePad, to work all of the homework problems.

Theory Of Thermodynamics Of Computation
Workshop on Physics and Computation, 2005We investigate a new research area: we are interested in the u ltimate t hermodynamic cost of computing from x to y. Other than its f undamental importance, such research has implications for future miniaturiaation of VLSI chips reducing the energy dissipation below IcT (thermal noise), and the similarity distance problem in pattern recognition.

The thermodynamics of computation—a review
International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1982Computers may be thought of as engines for transforming free energy into waste heat and mathematical work. Existing electronic computers dissipate energy vastly in excess of the mean thermal energykT, for purposes such as maintaining volatile storage devices in a bistable condition, synchronizing and standardizing signals, and maximizing switching ...

Physical Review A, 1992
Molecular-dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations of fluids and of crystals are typically performed using periodic boundary conditions and small numbers of particles, i.e., small compared with Avogadro's number. For fluids, if the dimensions of the simulated system are large enough compared with the correlation length of the material, the simulation can ...

Information thermodynamics of near-equilibrium computation
Physical Review E, 2015In studying fundamental physical limits and properties of computational processes, one is faced with the challenges of interpreting primitive information-processing functions through well-defined information-theoretic as well as thermodynamic quantities.
