A model of entropy production [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA 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 ...

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

Entropy Production at RHIC [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 2003 For central heavy ion collisions at the RHIC energy, the entropy per unit rapidity dS/dy at freeze-out is extracted with minimal model dependence from available experimental measurements of particle yields, spectra, and source sizes estimated from two ...

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

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

Entropy and Entropy Production in Multiscale Dynamics [PDF]
Journal 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 ...

Thermodynamics of Thermoelectric Phenomena and Applications [PDF]
Entropy, 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 Production of Run-and-Tumble Particles [PDF]
EntropyWe analyze the entropy production in run-and-tumble models. After presenting the general formalism in the framework of the Fokker–Planck equations in one space dimension, we derive some known exact results in simple physical situations (free run-and ...

Cavitation Characteristics and Structure Optimization of Two-Dimensional Valve Based on Entropy Production Theory [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2023 In addition to noise and vibration, cavitation also lowers the efficiency, performance, and working lives of two-dimensional valves. To study the effect of cavitation on the flow characteristics of two-dimensional valves, standard turbulence model and ...
