Unified Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics and the Stability of Relativistic Theories for Dissipation

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
In a relativistic context, the main purpose of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) is to generalize the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to the domain of fluid dynamics.

On the Thermodynamic Equilibrium in the Universe [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1928
With the establishing of the second law it was realized that all the actual processes on earth are irreversible and unidirectional in the sense of this law. The same is true for the solar system as the sun is radiating energy continually in an irreversible way.

Hot and Heavy Matters in the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Are the generalizations of classical equilibrium thermodynamics true of self-gravitating systems? This question has not been addressed from a foundational perspective, but here I tackle it through a study of the "paradoxes" commonly said to afflict such ...

Condições de equilíbrio termodinâmico: a função disponibilidade

open access: yesQuímica 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.

Mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics

open access: yesAtti 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 ...

Time and thermodynamics extended discussion on “Time & clocks: A thermodynamic approach”

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2020
In the paper, “Time & clocks: A thermodynamic approach” Lucia and Grisolia describe the connections between the physical nature of time and macroscopic irreversibility in thermodynamics.

Contact Geometry of Mesoscopic Thermodynamics and Dynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 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.
