Entropy production and plasma relaxation

Physical Review A, 1987
Plasma relaxation, as well as the relaxation of more general diffusive systems, is discussed from a dynamical point of view. It is shown that a state which minimizes the rate of entropy production, as suitably defined, attracts neighboring states and thus causes relaxation.

Entropy and Entropy Production

1973
The limitations of a thermodynamic theory of a continuum by the atomic structure of matter are briefly discussed. They imply that any thermodynamic theory is of an approximate nature. Main emphasis is laid on the concept of a nonequilibrium entropy. It is shown that to an isothermal electrical network one can apply thermodynamic reasoning.

Principle of Minimum Entropy Production

Physical Review, 1954
The principle of minimum entropy production says that the steady state of an irreversible process, i.e., the state in which the thermodynamic variables are independent of the time, is characterized by a minimum value of the rate of entropy production.

On entropy production

Annals of Physics, 2008
The paper's methodology traces back to Prigogine's theory of irreversible systems and an issue of irreversible time evolution in Onsager's formulation. The super-operator technique is developed, based on earlier papers of the present Author, with the aim of reconciling the conceptual background of an irreversible dynamics with principles of standard ...

Minimum entropy production in photosynthesis

Biophysical Chemistry, 2001
In this paper a flux-coupling model of photosynthesis is presented. By requiring minimum entropy production, it is found that the photosynthetic efficiency is essentially given by the square root of D/lambda. D and lambda are the diffusion coefficient and thermal conductivity of the rate-limiting processes in the chloroplast, respectively.

Transformation properties of entropy production

Physical Review E, 2011
The transformation properties of entropy production under phase-space partitioning, lumping, or the elimination of intermediate steps and variables in the presence of widely separated time scales are studied. Conditions are derived under which dissipation remains invariant.
