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

Braun-Le Chatelier principle in dissipative thermodynamics
Atti 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.

The Second Law Today: Using Maximum-Minimum Entropy Generation
Entropy, 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

Comment on 'Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of light absorption' [PDF]
, 2002 A recent paper by Meszéna and Westerhoff (1999 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 32 301) has aimed to address what is referred to as a principal question of biological thermodynamics, the possibility of describing photosynthesis in terms of non-equilibrium ...

Beyond equilibrium thermodynamics in the low temperature plasma processor
Journal 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 ...

Entropy Principle and Recent Results in Non-Equilibrium Theories
Entropy, 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

A Schroedinger link between non-equilibrium thermodynamics and Fisher information
, 2002 It is known that equilibrium thermodynamics can be deduced from a constrained Fisher information extemizing process. We show here that, more generally, both non-equilibrium and equilibrium thermodynamics can be obtained from such a Fisher treatment ...

Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Lattice QCD [PDF]
, 2007 Lattice QCD allows us to simulate QCD at non-zero temperature and/or densities. Such equilibrium thermodynamics calculations are relevant to the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
