Theory of entropy production in quantum many-body systems

open access: yesPhysical Review B, 2016
We define the entropy operator as the negative of the logarithm of the density matrix, give a prescription for extracting its thermodynamically measurable part, and discuss its dynamics. For an isolated system we derive the first, second and third laws of thermodynamics.

Entropy production in classical Yang-Mills theory from glasma initial conditions [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2013
We study the thermalization process in classical Yang-Mills (CYM) field theory starting from noisy glasma-like initial conditions by investigating the initial-value sensitivity of trajectories. Kunihiro et al. linked entropy generation to the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, which gives the entropy production rate in classical chaotic systems, calculated ...

Study on Inflow Distortion Mechanism and Energy Characteristics in Bidirectional Axial Flow Pumping Station

open access: yesMachines, 2022
In the present work, unsteady flow solved by the Reynolds time-averaged Navier–Stokes equation was investigated to determine the inflow distortion mechanism and the spatial distribution of hydraulic loss in a bidirectional axial flow pumping station ...

Quantum features of entropy production in driven-dissipative transitions

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
The physics of driven-dissipative transitions is currently a topic of great interest, particularly in quantum optical systems. These transitions occur in systems kept out of equilibrium and are therefore characterized by a finite entropy production rate.

The Effect of J-Groove on Vortex Suppression and Energy Dissipation in a Draft Tube of Francis Turbine

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
The vortex rope in the draft tube is considered as the major contributor to pressure pulsation at partial load (PL) conditions, which causes the hydro unit to operate unstably.

Covariant nonequilibrium thermodynamics from Ito-Langevin dynamics

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2022
Using the recently developed covariant Ito-Langevin dynamics, we develop a nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory for small systems coupled to multiplicative noises.

An Impeller Optimization Method for the High Specific Speed Mixed-Flow Reactor Coolant Pump Applied to Marine Nuclear Power

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The reactor coolant pump (RCP) is the only rotating equipment in the primary circuit system of a nuclear power plant and the “heart” of the nuclear reactor.

Entropy Production in Phase Field Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Allen-Cahn (Ginzburg-Landau) dynamics for scalar fields with heat conduction is treated in rigid bodies using a non-equilibrium thermodynamic framework with weakly nonlocal internal variables. The entropy production and entropy flux is calculated with the classical method of irreversible thermodynamics by separating full divergences.

Study on performance and flow loss of reactor coolant pump with different laws of guide vane angle

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2023
To study the influence of different laws of guide vane angle on the performance of reactor coolant pump (RCP), five models of RCP with different guide vane were designed, and the three‐dimensional numerical calculation was carried out.
