The effects of transient radiant flow on pipe in contact with natural convection, for developed laminar flow of fluid with high Prandtl number, on enthalpy and entropy generation [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Review and Letters, 2019
Convection flow is passed in a pipe wall possessing radiation-convection, in order to find the best case with at least enthalpy and minimum entropy generation, through pipe wall having radiant flow.

The Differential Entropy Generation Rate as a Unified Measure for Both the Stability and Efficiency of an Axial Compressor

open access: yesMachines, 2023
Stability and efficiency are the two most important performance indicators of highly loaded aviation axial compressors; however, they often cannot be achieved simultaneously.

Free and classical entropy over the circle. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Relative entropy with respect to normalized arclength measure on the circle is greater than or equal to the negative logarithmic energy (Voiculescu's negative free entropy) and is greater than or equal to the modified relative free entropy.

Entropy production and lost work for irreversible processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper we analyse in depth the Lost Work in an irreversible process (i.e. IRREV REV Lost ) W =W -W . This quantity is also called ‘degraded energy’ or ‘Energy unavailable to do work’. Usually in textbooks one can find the relation Lost U W o TDS .

Generalized graph entropies

open access: yesComplexity, 2011
AbstractThis article deals with generalized entropies for graphs. These entropies result from applying information measures to a graph using various schemes for defining probability distributions over the elements (e.g., vertices) of the graph. We introduce a new class of generalized measures, develop their properties, compute the measures for selected

The Concavity of Generalized Entropy Powers

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2022
In this note we introduce a new family of entropy powers which are related to generalized entropies, called Sharma-Mittal entropies, and we prove their concavity along diffusion processes generated by $L^2$-Wasserstein gradient flows of corresponding entropy functionals.
