Asymptotic Thermodynamics for Chemical Reaction Networks with Fast-Slow Kinetics [PDF]
EntropyWe present a systematic derivation of asymptotic expansions of nonequilibrium thermodynamics for chemical reaction networks (CRNs) based on singular perturbation theory. For a general reversible CRN with fast–slow kinetics, we obtain the first and second

Characteristics of Cavitation Flow for a Regulating Valve Based on Entropy Production Theory
Energies, 2022 A regulating valve is a key control element in the coal liquefaction industry, whose flow field distribution is related to the entropy production. In order to make a quantitative evaluation of the energy loss in the cavitation flow and calculate the ...

External Entropy Production and Human Evolution Toward Multi-Body Life [PDF]
EntropyAncient human beings started “external entropy production” in a late stage of evolution, in addition to the internal entropy production by which energy was dissipated within the body of life, as previously described consistently with the birth of life by

Towards Pragmatist Thermodynamics: An Essay on the Natural Philosophy of Entropy and Sustainability [PDF]
EntropyClassical thermodynamics (CT) has become integrated into everyday life, especially through its applications in engineering. In contrast, out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics (OET) is often viewed as a fundamental science that seems distant from daily ...

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 ...

The highest entropy production during diffusion [PDF]
Computer Methods in Materials Science, 2018 In the present paper, the theory of the highest entropy production is discussed. It allows to predict, which phases will grow during the multiphase ternary interdiffusion process.
