On the Entropy of a Class of Irreversible Processes [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
We review a recent technique for determining the entropy change accompanying certain classes of irreversible processes involving changes in the state of a system anchored to a reservoir.

Is Time’s Asymmetry Related to Irreversible Processes and the Second Law? [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
In this article, we start by describing one of the most characteristic properties of time: “time can never decrease”. From this property, numerous authors have concluded that irreversible processes, that always proceed in one direction, must be related ...

Rate of entropy model for irreversible processes in living systems [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
In living systems, it is crucial to study the exchange of entropy that plays a fundamental role in the understanding of irreversible chemical reactions. However, there are not yet works able to describe in a systematic way the rate of entropy production ...

A new model for lipid monolayer and bilayers based on thermodynamics of irreversible processes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Lipid monolayers are used as experimental model systems to study the physical chemical properties of biomembranes. With this purpose, surface pressure/area per molecule isotherms provide a way to obtain information on packing and compressibility ...

Information symmetries in irreversible processes [PDF]

open access: yesChaos, 2011
We study dynamical reversibility in stationary stochastic processes from an information-theoretic perspective. Extending earlier work on the reversibility of Markov chains, we focus on finitary processes with arbitrarily long conditional correlations. In

Recent Advances in Conservation–Dissipation Formalism for Irreversible Processes [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
The main purpose of this review is to summarize the recent advances of the Conservation–Dissipation Formalism (CDF), a new way for constructing both thermodynamically compatible and mathematically stable and well-posed models for irreversible processes ...

Thermodynamic Stability Theories of Irreversible Processes and the Fourth Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Three approaches for determining the thermodynamic stability of irreversible processes are described in generalized formulations. The simplest is the Gibbs–Duhem theory, specialized to irreversible trajectories, which uses the concept of virtual ...

Conceptual and practical approaches for investigating irreversible processes [PDF]

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics
Current research in statistical mechanics mostly concerns the investigation of out-of-equilibrium, irreversible processes, which are ubiquitous in nature and still far from being theoretically understood.

Reciprocal Relations in Irreversible Processes. II. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review, 1931
Es werden die sog. quasithermodynamischen reziproken Beziehungen, deren klassisches Beispiel das Thomsonsche thermoelektrische Gesetz bildet, mit Hilfe von Fluktuationsbetrachtungen auf eine Reversibilität der Elementarvorgänge zurückgeführt. Mehrere Beispiele solcher Beziehungen werden erwähnt, deren genauere Diskussion für eine spätere Mitteilung ...
