The Maximum Entropy Production Principle and Linear Irreversible Processes [PDF]
Entropy, 2010 It is shown that Onsager’s principle of the least dissipation of energy is equivalent to the maximum entropy production principle. It is known that solutions of the linearized Boltzmann equation make extrema of entropy production.

Relaxation Processes and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]
Entropy, 2010 Spontaneous transitions of an isolated system from one macroscopic state to another (relaxation processes) are accompanied by a change of entropy. Following Jaynes’ MaxEnt formalism, it is shown that practically all the possible microscopic developments ...

The maximum entropy production principle: two basic questions [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2010 The overwhelming majority of maximum entropy production applications to ecological and environmental systems are based on thermodynamics and statistical physics. Here, we discuss briefly maximum entropy production principle and raises two questions: (i) can this principle be used as the basis for non-equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics

Statistical optimization for passive scalar transport: maximum entropy production versus maximum Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2015 We derive rigorous results on the link between the principle of maximum entropy production and the principle of maximum Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy for a Markov model of the passive scalar diffusion called the Zero Range Process.

Maximum entropy production: can it be used to constrain conceptual hydrological models? [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 In recent years, optimality principles have been proposed to constrain hydrological models. The principle of maximum entropy production (MEP) is one of the proposed principles and is subject of this study.

Entropy production from maximum entropy principle: A unifying approach [PDF]
Physical Review EEntropy production is the crucial quantity characterizing irreversible phenomena and the second law of thermodynamics. Yet, a ubiquitous definition eludes consensus. Given that entropy production arises from incomplete access to information, in this Letter we use Jaynes' maximum entropy principle to establish a framework that brings together prominent ...

Entropy, 2013 We challenge claims that the principle of maximum entropy production produces physical phenomenological relations between conjugate currents and forces, even beyond the linear regime, and that currents in networks arrange themselves to maximize entropy ...

Estimation of Evapotranspiration of Amazon Rainforest Using the Maximum Entropy Production Method
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Energy budget of Amazonian forests has a large influence on regional and global climate, but relevant data are scarce. A novel energy partition method based on the maximum entropy production (MEP) theory is applied to simulate evapotranspiration in ...

The Entropy of the Universe and the Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2013 The dominant mode of entropy production enabled by the large-scale technological systems that power the world economy is the degradation of chemical energy in fossil fuels. One key parameter determining the rates of fossil fuel consumption and entropy production is the price of energy. The Rayleigh-Benard cell provides a laboratory analog in which, for

Foraging Dynamics and Entropy Production in a Simulated Proto-Cell
Entropy, 2022 All organisms depend on a supply of energetic resources to power behavior and the irreversible entropy-producing processes that sustain them. Dissipative structure theory has often been a source of inspiration for better understanding the thermodynamics ...
