Interpretation of Entropy Calculations in Energy Conversion Systems
Energies, 2021 Often, second law-based studies present merely entropy calculations without demonstrating how and whether such calculations may be beneficial. Entropy generation is commonly viewed as lost work or sometimes a source of thermodynamic losses.

Algorithmic Approaches for Assessing Irreversibility in Time Series: Review and Comparison
Entropy, 2021 The assessment of time irreversibility, i.e., of the lack of invariance of the statistical properties of a system under the operation of time reversal, is a topic steadily gaining attention within the research community.

Energy, Exergy, and Exergoeconomic (3E) Analysis of Gas Liquefaction and Gas Associated Liquids Recovery Co-Process Based on the Mixed Fluid Cascade Refrigeration Systems [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2022 In this study, energy, exergy, and exergoeconomic analysis is performed on the recent trend of joint production of liquefied natural gas and natural gas liquids based on mixed fluid cascade most important of refrigeration systems. The proposed process is

Epistasis between cultural traits causes paradigm shifts in cultural evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Every now and then the cultural paradigm of a society changes. While current models of cultural shifts usually require a major exogenous or endogenous change, we propose that the mechanism underlying many paradigm shifts may just be an emergent feature ...

Hidden Dissipation and Irreversibility in Maxwell’s Demon
Entropy, 2022 Maxwell’s demon is an entity in a 150-year-old thought experiment that paradoxically appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics by reducing entropy without doing work.

Irreversible Curarization [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1977 The reversal effect of neostigmine following different doses of tubocurarine was investigated in 20 anesthetized adults. After five minutes, neostigmine could rapidly and effectively reverse a blocking dose of tubocurarine. Doubling the dose of tubocurarine necessitated a much higher concentration of neostigmine to achieve reversal, while a triple ...

A comprehensive approach to understanding irreversibility in a turbojet
Propulsion and Power Research, 2018 Regarding interest in and concerns about high efficiency in recent times, an irreversibility assessment of energy conversion systems is significant. Turbojets, a type of energy conversion system, are widely used to provide thrust for aerial vehicles ...

Emergent irreversibility and entanglement spectrum statistics [PDF]
, 2014 We study the problem of irreversibility when the dynamical evolution of a many-body system is described by a stochastic quantum circuit. Such evolution is more general than a Hamiltonian one, and since energy levels are not well defined, the well ...
