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 ...

The five problems of irreversibility [PDF]
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2021 Thermodynamics has a clear arrow of time, characterized by the irreversible approach to equilibrium. This stands in contrast to the laws of microscopic theories, which are invariant under time-reversal. Foundational discussions of this "problem of irreversibility" often focus on historical considerations, and do therefore not take results of modern ...

New Journal of Physics, 2021 We introduce lower bounds for the rate of entropy production of an active stochastic process by quantifying the irreversibility of stochastic traces obtained from mesoscopic degrees of freedom.

Dissipation and irreversibility in computing
Materials Research Express, 2023 There has been much discussion for decades over the proper concepts of minimum dissipation per logic gate and what is required for computation, as well as early arguments over logically reversible machines.
