Entropy Principle and Recent Results in Non-Equilibrium Theories [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 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

Linear Irreversible Thermodynamics: A Glance at Thermoelectricity and the Biological Scaling Laws [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
This paper presents so-called thermoelectric generators (TEGs), which are considered thermal engines that transform heat into electricity using the Seebeck effect for this purpose.

A Variational Formulation for Irreversible Thermodynamics with Path Dependence [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
This work introduces a path-dependent energy Lagrangian for irreversible thermomechanics that embeds heat and entropy accounting directly into the action. The formulation requires neither Lagrange multipliers nor Rayleigh potentials.

Extended irreversible thermodynamics of heat transport. A brief introduction; pp. 118–126 [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2008
Current frontiers of technology require generalized transport equations incorporating memory, non-local effects, and non-linear effects. Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics provides such transport equations in a form compatible with the second law of ...

Gibbs entropy and irreversible thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Recently a number of approaches has been developed to connect the microscopic dynamics of particle systems to the macroscopic properties of systems in nonequilibrium stationary states, via the theory of dynamical systems.

On the Validity of Onsager Reciprocal Relations (ORR) for Heat Transfer in Anisotropic Solids

open access: yesAxioms, 2022
In this work, we investigate the validity of axioms such as Onsager Reciprocal Relations (ORR) for heat transfer in irreversible thermodynamics close to equilibrium.
