Thermodynamics of the viscous fluid from an observer's viewpoint
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

Can Quantum Correlations Lead to Violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
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,

Covariant Relativistic Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Multi-Component Systems † [PDF]
Non-equilibrium and equilibrium thermodynamics of an interacting component in a relativistic multi-component system is discussed covariantly by exploiting an entropy identity.

Bluff your Way in the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
The aim of this article is to analyse the relation between the second law of thermodynamics and the so-called arrow of time. For this purpose, a number of different aspects in this arrow of time are distinguished, in particular those of time-(a)symmetry ...

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

Braun-Le Chatelier principle in dissipative thermodynamics
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
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

Thermodynamics of Various Entropies in Specific Modified Gravity with Particle Creation
We consider the particle creation scenario in the dynamical Chern-Simons modified gravity in the presence of perfect fluid equation of state p=(γ-1)ρ. By assuming various modified entropies (Bekenstein entropy logarithmic entropy, power law correction ...

Making Sense of Gravitational Thermodynamics
The use of statistical methods to model gravitational systems is crucial to physics practice, but yet the extent to which thermodynamics and statistical mechanics genuinely apply to these systems is a contentious issue.

Entropy Principle and Recent Results in Non-Equilibrium Theories
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
