Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics—The Nonequilibrium Perspective
An alternative to the Carnot-Clausius approach for introducing entropy and the second law of thermodynamics is outlined that establishes entropy as a nonequilibrium property from the onset.

Onsager's Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics as Gradient Flow in Information Geometry. [PDF]
We consider Onsager’s non-equilibrium thermodynamics from the perspective of the gradient flow in information geometry. Assuming Onsager’s reciprocal relations, we can regard his phenomenological equations as gradient-flow equations and ...

Nonlinear Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics Based on the Ehrenfest-Klein Model. [PDF]
Nonlinear non-equilibrium thermodynamic relations have been constructed based on the generalized Ehrenfest-Klein model. Using these relations, the behavior of the entropy and its production in time at arbitrary deviations from equilibrium has been ...

Multiscale thermodynamics is a theory of the relations among the levels of investigation of complex systems. It includes the classical equilibrium thermodynamics as a special case, but it is applicable to both static and time evolving processes in ...

The Maximum Entropy Production Principle: Its Theoretical Foundations and Applications to the Earth System [PDF]
The Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle has been remarkably successful in producing accurate predictions for non-equilibrium states. We argue that this is because the MEP principle is an effective inference procedure that produces the best ...

Recovering phytochemicals from a brewery by-product: a sustainable reuse proposal using a lactic acid-based deep eutectic solvent [PDF]
Hot trub (HT), a nutrient-rich by-product of beer production, remains underutilized despite its potential for resource recovery. This study explores the valorization of HT, producing two phytochemical-rich extracts with potential functional applications ...

It is often claimed, or hoped, that some temporal asymmetries are explained by the thermodynamic asymmetry in time. Thermodynamics, the macroscopic physics of pressure, temperature, volume, and so on, describes many temporally asymmetric processes.
