How Flexible Is the Concept of Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium?
It has been demonstrated by using generalized phenomenological irreversible thermodynamic theory (GPITT) that by replacing the conventional composition variables {xk} by the quantum level composition variables {x˜k,j} corresponding to the nonequilibrium ...

A thermodynamical model for population growth with relaxation phenomena
Reaction-diffusion models were used in dynamic fluid, population growth, pulse propagation in nerves and other biological phenomena. Some of these models have been expanded to describe memory effects in diffusion and therefore with the use of hyperbolic ...

Incremental least action principle in the framework of thermodynamics of irreversible processes
In this paper, an incremental least action principle is proposed using the framework of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. First, we establish that an extensive thermodynamic potential defined over an infinitesimal volume satisfies a ...

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

In this work comprehensive criteria for detecting the extrema in entropy production rate for heat transfer by conduction in a uniform body under a constant volume in the linear region of Extended Thermodynamics Framework are developed. These criteria are

Stability Analysis of a Self-Gravitating Fluid within EIT Theory
In this article, we apply the formalism of (classical) Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) to the dynamics of density fluctuations for a self-gravitating fluid in a static Universe, considering only bulk viscosity.

Entropic Constitutive Relation and Modeling for Fourier and Hyperbolic Heat Conductions
Most existing phenomenological heat conduction models are expressed by temperature and heat flux distributions, whose definitions might be debatable in heat conductions with strong non-equilibrium.

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 ...

On Entropic Framework Based on Standard and Fractional Phonon Boltzmann Transport Equations
Generalized expressions of the entropy and related concepts in non-Fourier heat conduction have attracted increasing attention in recent years. Based on standard and fractional phonon Boltzmann transport equations (BTEs), we study entropic functionals ...
