Out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum optomechanical systems [PDF]

open access: gold, 2015
We address the out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics of an isolated quantum system consisting of a cavity optomechanical device. We explore the dynamical response of the system when driven out of equilibrium by a sudden quench of the coupling parameter and ...

Steepest Entropy Ascent Model for Far-Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics. Unified Implementation of the Maximum Entropy Production Principle

open access: yes, 2014
By suitable reformulations, we cast the mathematical frameworks of several well-known different approaches to the description of non-equilibrium dynamics into a unified formulation, which extends to such frameworks the concept of Steepest Entropy Ascent (

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of harmonically trapped bosons [PDF]

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2016
We apply the framework of non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics to the physics of quenched small-sized bosonic quantum gases in a one-dimensional harmonic trap.

Towards Pragmatist Thermodynamics: An Essay on the Natural Philosophy of Entropy and Sustainability [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Classical 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 ...

A non-equilibrium thermodynamics model for combined adsorption and diffusion processes in micro- and nanopores [PDF]

open access: green, 2012
A non-equilibrium thermodynamics model able to analyze the combined effect of diffusion and adsorption in porous materials is proposed. The model considers the coupled dynamics of the diffusive phase, described by a diffusion type equation, and the ...

Systems, variational principles and interconnections in non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2023
The paper investigates a systematic approach to modelling in non-equilibrium thermodynamics by focusing upon the notion of interconnections, where we propose a novel Lagrangian variational formulation of such interconnected systems by extending the ...

Contact topology and non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinearity, 2021
We describe a method, based on contact topology, of showing the existence of semi-infinite trajectories of contact Hamiltonian flows which start on one Legendrian submanifold and asymptotically converge to another Legendrian submanifold.

Toward the Relational Formulation of Biological Thermodynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Classical thermodynamics employs the state of thermodynamic equilibrium, characterized by maximal disorder of the constituent particles, as the reference frame from which the Second Law is formulated and the definition of entropy is derived.
