Thermoelasticity and Irreversible Thermodynamics [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physics, 1956 A unified treatment is presented of thermoelasticity by application and further developments of the methods of irreversible thermodynamics. The concept of generalized free energy introduced in a previous publication plays the role of a ``thermoelastic potential'' and is used along with a new definition of the dissipation function in terms of the time ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 In a relativistic context, the main purpose of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) is to generalize the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to the domain of fluid dynamics.

Nonequilibrium Black Hole Thermodynamics in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2021 This work discusses the black hole thermodynamics in a weak dynamical Anti-de Sitter spacetime, which should be described by the nonequilibrium thermodynamics, because the metric depends on the time coordinate. Taking the Vaidya-Anti-de Sitter black hole

Irreversibility as thermodynamic time [PDF]
Open Physics, 2021 AbstractIn Newtonian mechanics, time and space are perceived as absolute entities. In Einstein’s relativity theory, time is frame dependent. Time is also affected by gravitational field and as the field varies in space, time also varies throughout space. In the present article, the thermodynamic-based time is investigated.

Irreversible Thermodynamics and Bioeconomy: Toward a Human-Oriented Sustainability
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 The present age is characterized by a very complex economic relationship among finance, technology, social needs, etc., which can be summarized in the word “sustainability.” The sustainable consumption and production policies represent the keys to ...

Thermodynamics of irreversible plant cell growth
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011 The time-irreversible cell enlargement of plant cells at a constant temperature results from two independent physical processes, e.g. water absorption and cell wall yielding.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the asymmetric Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model
Nature Communications, 2023 Most natural systems operate far from equilibrium, displaying time-asymmetric, irreversible dynamics characterized by a positive entropy production while exchanging energy and matter with the environment.

Fundamental limitations for quantum and nano thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2013 The relationship between thermodynamics and statistical physics is valid in the thermodynamic limit - when the number of particles becomes very large. Here, we study thermodynamics in the opposite regime - at both the nano scale, and when quantum effects

Rational interpretation of the postulates in plasticity
Results in Physics, 2014 This article is mainly focussed on revisited of the two well-known postulates of plasticity, i.e., the Drucker and the Il’iushin postulate, and it describes their rational interpretation within the framework of irreversible thermodynamics and using ...

Schroedinger vs. Navier–Stokes
Entropy, 2016 Quantum mechanics has been argued to be a coarse-graining of some underlying deterministic theory. Here we support this view by establishing a map between certain solutions of the Schroedinger equation, and the corresponding solutions of the irrotational
