Numerical Study for Flow Loss Characteristic of an Axial-Flow Pump as Turbine via Entropy Production Analysis

open access: yesProcesses, 2022
Low-head vertical axial-flow pump as turbine (PAT) devices play a vital part in the development of clean energy for hydropower in plain areas. The traditional method of evaluating the flow loss in hydraulic machinery is calculated by the pressure drop ...

Estimating entropy production by machine learning of short-time fluctuating currents. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2020
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) are the inequalities which give lower bounds on the entropy production rate using only the mean and the variance of fluctuating currents.

Entropy Production in Stochastics

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
While the modern definition of entropy is genuinely probabilistic, in entropy production the classical thermodynamic definition, as in heat transfer, is typically used.

Optimizing Our Patients’ Entropy Production as Therapy? Hypotheses Originating from the Physics of Physiology

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Understanding how nature drives entropy production offers novel insights regarding patient care. Whilst energy is always preserved and energy gradients irreversibly dissipate (thus producing entropy), increasing evidence suggests that they do so in the ...

Quantifying the thermodynamic entropy budget of the land surface: is this useful? [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Dynamics, 2011
As a system is moved away from a state of thermodynamic equilibrium, spatial and temporal heterogeneity is induced. A possible methodology to assess these impacts is to examine the thermodynamic entropy budget and assess the role of entropy production ...

Analysis of Hydraulic Losses in Vortex Rope Inside the Draft Tube of Francis Pump-Turbine Based on Entropy Production Theory

open access: yesMachines, 2023
The existence of vortex ropes inside the draft tube significantly impacts hydraulic efficiency and operational stability, and few studies on the formation mechanism of vortex ropes and hydraulic loss problems have been explored.

Entropy Production of Stars

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
The entropy production (inside the volume bounded by a photosphere) of main-sequence stars, subgiants, giants, and supergiants is calculated based on B–V photometry data. A non-linear inverse relationship of thermodynamic fluxes and forces as well as an

Physicochemical attack against solid tumors based on the reversal of direction of entropy flow: an attempt to introduce thermodynamics in anticancer therapy

open access: yesDiagnostic Pathology, 2006
Background There are many differences between healthy tissue and growing tumor tissue, including metabolic, structural and thermodynamic differences. Both structural and thermodynamic differences can be used to follow the entropy differences in cancerous

Theoretical Analysis of Entropy Generation at the Blade Interface of a Tubular Turbine Under Cooperative Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2021
To study the influence of the blade entropy production range on the efficiency of a tubular turbine under coassociated conditions, the renormalization group K–ε turbulence model was used to simulate the full flow passage of the tubular turbine based on ...

Entropy production estimation with optimal current. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2020
Entropy production characterizes the thermodynamic irreversibility and reflects the amount of heat dissipated into the environment and free energy lost in nonequilibrium systems.
