Local non-equilibrium thermodynamics. [PDF]
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]
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
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
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.

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 ...

Open-Circuit Voltage Comes from Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics
Originally derived by Walther Nernst more than a century ago, the Nernst equation for the open-circuit voltage is a cornerstone in the analysis of electrochemical systems.

Thermodynamic equilibrium in general relativity [PDF]
The thermodynamic equilibrium condition for a static self-gravitating fluid in the Einstein theory is defined by the Tolman-Ehrenfest temperature law, $T{\sqrt {g_{00}(x^{i})}} = constant$, according to which the proper temperature depends explicitly on the position within the medium through the metric coefficient $g_{00}(x^{i})$.

Modeling the transformation of І and ІІІ types kerogen by the method of entropy maximization
Purpose, methods and research methodology. The aim of the work is to calculate and compare the trends of transformation of organic matter of I-A and III-A type kerogen, which is in contact with organic and inorganic gases in the process of immersion of ...

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.

On universal features of the turbulent cascade in terms of non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
Features of the turbulent cascade are investigated for various datasets from three different turbulent flows, namely free jets as well as wake flows of a regular grid and a cylinder.
