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 ...

Condições de equilíbrio termodinâmico: a função disponibilidade
Química Nova, 2011 The thermodynamic equilibrium is a state defined by conditions which depend upon some characteristics of the system. It requires thermal, mechanical, chemical and phase equilibrium.

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,

Theory of Non-equilibrium Asymptotic State Thermodynamics: Interacting Ehrenfest Urn Ring as an Example [PDF]
Physical Review E 108, 064114 (2023), 2023 A generalized class of non-equilibrium state, called non-equilibrium asymptotic state (NEAS), is proposed. The NEAS is constructed within the framework of the Fokker-Planck equations in thermodynamic limit. Besides the usual equilibrium state and non-equilibrium steady state (NESS), the class of NEAS could also cover non-equilibrium periodic state ...

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 ...

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics as gauge fixing [PDF]
PTEP(2018) 093A02, 2018 By considering a thermodynamic force as gauge field, we extend constitutive equations of Onsager's non-equilibrium thermodynamics to non-linear equations. In Onsager's non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the thermodynamic force corresponds to a pure gauge, for which the constitutive equations are obtained by gauge fixing.

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

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.

Measuring thermodynamic length [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 99 100602 (2007), 2007 Thermodynamic length is a metric distance between equilibrium thermodynamic states. Among other interesting properties, this metric asymptotically bounds the dissipation induced by a finite time transformation of a thermodynamic system. It is also connected to the Jensen-Shannon divergence, Fisher information and Rao's entropy differential metric ...
