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.

Local equilibrium and the second law of thermodynamics for irreversible systems with thermodynamic inertia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Validity of local equilibrium has been questioned for non-equilibrium systems which are characterized by delayed response. In particular, for systems with non-zero thermodynamic inertia, the assumption of local equilibrium leads to negative values of the

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 ...

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

Beyond equilibrium thermodynamics in the low temperature plasma processor

open access: yesJournal of Vacuum Science & Technology B, 2018
Low temperature plasmas are open driven thermodynamic systems capable of increasing the free energy of the mass that flows through them. An interesting thing about low temperature plasmas is that different species have different temperatures at the same ...

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.

Out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum optomechanical systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We address the out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics of an isolated quantum system consisting of a cavity optomechanical device. We explore the dynamical response of the system when driven out of equilibrium by a sudden quench of the coupling parameter and ...
