Mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2008 Basic concepts like energy, heat, and temperature have acquired a precise meaning after the development of thermodynamics. Thermodynamics provides the basis for understanding how heat and work are related and with the general rules that the macroscopic ...

Can Quantum Correlations Lead to Violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
Entropy, 2021 Quantum entanglement can cause the efficiency of a heat engine to be greater than the efficiency of the Carnot cycle. However, this does not mean a violation of the second law of thermodynamics, since there is no local equilibrium for pure quantum states,

Contact Geometry of Mesoscopic Thermodynamics and Dynamics
Entropy, 2014 The time evolution during which macroscopic systems reach thermodynamic equilibrium states proceeds as a continuous sequence of contact structure preserving transformations maximizing the entropy.

Thermodynamics of the viscous fluid from an observer's viewpoint
Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2013 The development of the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of the viscous fluid not using the local thermodynamic equilibrium hypothesis is considered. The theory is based on the causal mechanics of the heat conducting continuum, which includes the 1st law of

Local equilibrium and the second law of thermodynamics for irreversible systems with thermodynamic inertia [PDF]
, 2015 Validity of local equilibrium has been questioned for non-equilibrium systems which are characterized by delayed response. In particular, for systems with non-zero thermodynamic inertia, the assumption of local equilibrium leads to negative values of the

On Thermodynamics Problems in the Single-Phase-Lagging Heat Conduction Model
Entropy, 2016 Thermodynamics problems for the single-phase-lagging (SPL) model have not been much studied. In this paper, the violation of the second law of thermodynamics by the SPL model is studied from two perspectives, which are the negative entropy production ...

Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Lattice QCD [PDF]
, 2007 Lattice QCD allows us to simulate QCD at non-zero temperature and/or densities. Such equilibrium thermodynamics calculations are relevant to the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

Braun-Le Chatelier principle in dissipative thermodynamics
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2019 Braun-Le Chatelier principle is a fundamental result of equilibrium thermodynamics, showing how stable equilibrium states shift when external conditions are varied. The principle follows from convexity of a thermodynamic potential.

The Second Law Today: Using Maximum-Minimum Entropy Generation
Entropy, 2015 There are a great number of thermodynamic schools, independent of each other, and without a powerful general approach, but with a split on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In 1912, in relation to the stationary non-equilibrium states, Ehrenfest introduced
