A model of entropy production [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
A key tenet of the Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is the idea that photon absorption localizes the absorbing material system. In doing so, it measures the location of the absorber and hence reduces information entropy which in turn ...

Entropy and Entropy Production in Some Applications [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2013
By using entropy and entropy production, we calculate the steady flux of some phenomena. The method we use is a competition method, $S_S/\tau+\sigma={\it maximum}$, where $S_S$ is system entropy, $\sigma$ is entropy production and $\tau$ is microscopic ...

Continuous Monitoring of Entropy Production and Entropy Flow in Humans Exercising under Heat Stress [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Complex living systems, such as the human organism, are characterized by their self-organized and dissipative behaviors, where irreversible processes continuously produce entropy internally and export it to the environment; however, a means by which to ...

Foraging Dynamics and Entropy Production in a Simulated Proto-Cell [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
All organisms depend on a supply of energetic resources to power behavior and the irreversible entropy-producing processes that sustain them. Dissipative structure theory has often been a source of inspiration for better understanding the thermodynamics ...

Saturation of entropy production in quantum many-body systems [PDF]

open access: green, 2017
Bridging the second law of thermodynamics and microscopic reversible dynamics has been a longstanding problem in statistical physics. We here address this problem on the basis of quantum many-body physics, and discuss how the entropy production saturates

Entropy Production in the Theory of Heat Conduction in Solids [PDF]

open access: goldEntropy, 2016
The evolution of the entropy production in solids due to heat transfer is usually associated with the Prigogine’s minimum entropy production principle.

Beyond the Second Law: Darwinian Evolution as a Tendency for Entropy Production to Increase [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
There is much confusion about the apparent opposition between Darwinian evolution and the second law of thermodynamics. Both entropy and entropy production play more fundamental roles in the origin of life and Darwinian evolution than is generally ...

Entropy and Entropy Production: Old Misconceptions and New Breakthroughs [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Persistent misconceptions existing for dozens of years and influencing progress in various fields of science are sometimes encountered in the scientific and especially, the popular-science literature.

Thermodynamics of Thermoelectric Phenomena and Applications [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2011
Fifty years ago, the optimization of thermoelectric devices was analyzed by considering the relation between optimal performances and local entropy production. Entropy is produced by the irreversible processes in thermoelectric devices.

Entropy and Entropy Production in Multiscale Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, 2018
Heat conduction is investigated on three levels: equilibrium, Fourier, and Cattaneo. The Fourier level is either the point of departure for investigating the approach to equilibrium or the final stage in the investigation of the approach from the ...
