Thermodynamics: The Unique Universal Science

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Thermodynamics is a physical branch of science that governs the thermal behavior of dynamical systems from those as simple as refrigerators to those as complex as our expanding universe.

Extending the Laws of Thermodynamics for Arbitrary Autonomous Quantum Systems

open access: yesPRX Quantum, 2023
Originally formulated for macroscopic machines, the laws of thermodynamics were recently shown to hold for quantum systems coupled to ideal sources of work (external classical fields) and heat (systems at equilibrium).

Thermodynamics in Modified Gravity with Curvature Matter Coupling

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, 2013
The first and generalized second laws of thermodynamics are studied in f(R,Lm) gravity, a more general modified theory with curvature matter coupling. It is found that one can translate the Friedmann equations to the form of first law accompanied with ...

The second laws of quantum thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
Significance In ordinary thermodynamics, transitions are governed by a single quantity–the free energy. Its monotonicity is a formulation of the second law. Here, we find that the second law for microscopic or highly correlated systems takes on a very different form than it does at the macroscopic scale, imposing not just one constraint on ...

A thermodynamic-based model for modeling thermo-elastoplastic behaviors of saturated clayey soils considering bound water dehydration

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023
The non-isothermal deformation of soft mudrocks or clay soils is one of the most critical issues in energy and environmental related geotechnics. Clay-related geomaterials hold complex microstructure and mineral composition, which brings difficulty in ...

Thermodynamics and Cosmic Censorship Conjecture in Kerr–Newman–de Sitter Black Hole

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
We investigate the laws of thermodynamics and the validity of the cosmic censorship conjecture in the Kerr⁻Newman⁻de Sitter black hole under charged particle absorption.

One antimatter --- two possible thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Conventional thermodynamics, which is formulated for our world populated by radiation and matter, can be extended to describe physical properties of antimatter in two mutually exclusive ways: CP-invariant or CPT-invariant.

Holographic second laws of black hole thermodynamics

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
Recently, it has been shown that for out-of-equilibrium systems, there are additional constraints on thermodynamical evolution besides the ordinary second law.

Modeling Fluid dynamics and Aerodynamics by Second Law and Bejan Number (Part 1 - Theory) [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin, 2019
Two fundamental questions are still open about the complex relation between fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. Is it possible (and convenient) to describe fluid dynamic in terms of second law based thermodynamic equations?
