Kinetic equilibrium and relativistic thermodynamics [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 Relativistic thermodynamics is treated from the point of view of kinetic theory. It is shown that the generalized Jüttner distribution suggested in [1] is compatible with kinetic equilibrium.

The thermodynamics of phase equilibrium [PDF]
Annals of Physics, 1961 Abstract Thermodynamics is usually subdivided into a theory dealing with equilibrium and into one concerned with irreversible processes. In the present paper this subdibvision is carried further and the Gibbsian thermodynamics of phase equilibrium is distinguished from the thermodynamics of Clausius and Kelvin.

The statistical thermodynamics of equilibrium [PDF]
Annals of Physics, 1963 Abstract A statistical thermodynamics is developed in terms of extensive variables (additive invariants) distributed over a cellular division in space. In general, this distribution is governed by randomness and by correlations. The present theory, however, deals explicitly only with randomness, although correlations are implicit in the so-called ...

Thermodynamics “beyond” local equilibrium [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has shown its applicability in a wide variety of different situations pertaining to fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. As successful as it is, however, its current formulation considers only systems close to equilibrium, those satisfying the so-called local equilibrium hypothesis.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics in cavity optomechanics
Fundamental Research, 2023 Classical thermodynamics has been a great achievement in dealing with systems that are in equilibrium or near equilibrium. As an emerging field, nonequilibrium thermodynamics provides a general framework for understanding the nonequilibrium processes ...

Local non-equilibrium thermodynamics. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractLocal Shannon entropy lies at the heart of modern thermodynamics, with much discussion of trajectory-dependent entropy production. When taken at both boundaries of a process in phase space, it reproduces the second law of thermodynamics over a finite time interval for small scale systems.

The mereology of thermodynamic equilibrium [PDF]
Synthese, 2021 AbstractThe special composition question (SCQ), which asks under which conditions objects compose a further object, establishes a central debate in modern metaphysics. Recent successes of inductive metaphysics, which studies the implications of the natural sciences for metaphysical problems, suggest that insights into the SCQ can be gained by ...

Linear stochastic thermodynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We study the thermodynamics of open systems weakly driven out-of-equilibrium by nonconservative and time-dependent forces using the linear regime of stochastic thermodynamics. We make use of conservation laws to identify the potential and nonconservative

Thermodynamics of scale-dependent Friedmann equations
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 In this work, the role of a time-varying Newton constant under the scale-dependent approach is investigated in the thermodynamics of the Friedman equations.
