Kinetic equilibrium and relativistic thermodynamics

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
Relativistic thermodynamics is treated from the point of view of kinetic theory. It is shown that the generalized Jüttner distribution suggested in [1] is compatible with kinetic equilibrium.

Exploring quantum thermodynamics with NMR

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open, 2023
Quantum thermodynamics seeks to extend non-equilibrium stochastic thermodynamics to small quantum systems where non-classical features are essential to its description.

Macroscopic thermodynamics of equilibrium characterized by power-law canonical distributions

, 2000
Macroscopic thermodynamics of equilibrium is constructed for systems obeying power-law canonical distributions. With this, the connection between macroscopic thermodynamics and microscopic statistical thermodynamics is generalized.

Entropy production and fluctuation theorems for active matter [PDF]

, 2017
Active biological systems reside far from equilibrium, dissipating heat even in their steady state, thus requiring an extension of conventional equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

Sorption Thermodynamics of CO₂, H₂O, and CH₃OH in a Glassy Polyetherimide: A Molecular Perspective

Membranes, 2019
In this paper, the sorption thermodynamics of low-molecular-weight penetrants in a glassy polyetherimide, endowed with specific interactions, is addressed by combining an experimental approach based on vibrational spectroscopy with thermodynamics ...

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics of Spacetime

, 2006
It has previously been shown that the Einstein equation can be derived from the requirement that the Clausius relation dS = dQ/T hold for all local acceleration horizons through each spacetime point, where dS is one quarter the horizon area change in ...

The equilibrium of neural firing: A mathematical theory

AIP Advances, 2014
Inspired by statistical thermodynamics, we presume that neuron system has equilibrium condition with respect to neural firing. We show that, even with dynamically changeable neural connections, it is inevitable for neural firing to evolve to equilibrium.

Steepest Entropy Ascent Model for Far-Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics. Unified Implementation of the Maximum Entropy Production Principle

, 2014
By suitable reformulations, we cast the mathematical frameworks of several well-known different approaches to the description of non-equilibrium dynamics into a unified formulation, which extends to such frameworks the concept of Steepest Entropy Ascent (

Thermodynamics and Fluctuations Far From Equilibrium

Entropy, 2010
We review a coherent mesoscopic presentation of thermodynamics and fluctuations far from and near equilibrium, applicable to chemical reactions, energy transfer and transport processes, and electrochemical systems.

Strong coupling thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics from the unifying perspective of time-scale separation

Physical Review Research, 2022
Assuming time-scale separation, a simple and unified theory of thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics is constructed for small classical systems strongly interacting with their environments in a controllable fashion.
