Braun-Le Chatelier principle in dissipative thermodynamics

open access: yesAtti 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.

On Thermodynamics Problems in the Single-Phase-Lagging Heat Conduction Model

open access: yesEntropy, 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 ...

Thermodynamics and Rate Thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Approach of mesoscopic state variables to time independent equilibrium sates (zero law of thermodynamics) gives birth to the classical equilibrium thermodynamics. Approach of fluxes and forces to fixed points (equilibrium fluxes and forces) that drive reduced mesoscopic dynamics gives birth to the rate thermodynamics that is applicable to driven ...

The Second Law Today: Using Maximum-Minimum Entropy Generation

open access: yesEntropy, 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

Time and Thermodynamics Extended Discussion on "Time & clocks: A thermodynamic approach" [PDF]

open access: yesResults in Physics, Volume 17, June 2020, 103165, 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. They also discuss the possibility of constructing a thermodynamic clock that links the two, through an approach based on the behaviour of a black body.

Entropy Principle and Recent Results in Non-Equilibrium Theories

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
We present the state of the art on the modern mathematical methods of exploiting the entropy principle in thermomechanics of continuous media. A survey of recent results and conceptual discussions of this topic in some well-known non-equilibrium theories

Thermodynamics of cosmological horizons in $f(T)$ gravity

open access: yes, 2011
We explore thermodynamics of the apparent horizon in $f(T)$ gravity with both equilibrium and non-equilibrium descriptions. We find the same dual equilibrium/non-equilibrium formulation for $f(T)$ as for $f(R)$ gravity.

Thermodynamics in $f(R)$ gravity in the Palatini formalism

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate thermodynamics of the apparent horizon in $f(R)$ gravity in the Palatini formalism with non-equilibrium and equilibrium descriptions. We demonstrate that it is more transparent to understand the horizon entropy in the equilibrium framework

Entropy and Entropy Production in Multiscale Dynamics

open access: yes, 2018
Heat conduction is investigated on three levels: equilibrium, Fourier, and Cattaneo. The Fourier level is either the point of departure for investigating the approach to equilibrium or the final stage in the investigation of the approach from the ...

Brownian Motors driven by Particle Exchange

open access: yes, 1997
We extend the Langevin dynamics so that particles can be exchanged with a particle reservoir. We show that grand canonical ensembles are realized at equilibrium and derive the relations of thermodynamics for processes between equilibrium states.
