Thermodynamics in Ecology—An Introductory Review
Entropy, 2020 How to predict the evolution of ecosystems is one of the numerous questions asked of ecologists by managers and politicians. To answer this we will need to give a scientific definition to concepts like sustainability, integrity, resilience and ecosystem ...

Maximum entropy production principle in forest dynamics modelling [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesForest ecosystems are vivid representatives of open non-equilibrium systems. The existence of extreme principles in “ecological thermodynamics” is a subject of discussion in the works of many physicists, ecologists and researchers dealing with non ...

Information Entropy Dynamics and Maximum Entropy Production Principle
CoRR, 2014 The asymptotic convergence of probability density function (pdf) and convergence of differential entropy are examined for the non-stationary processes that follow the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) and maximum entropy production principle (MEPP).

Is Turbulence a State of Maximum Energy Dissipation?
Entropy, 2017 Turbulent flows are known to enhance turbulent transport. It has then even been suggested that turbulence is a state of maximum energy dissipation.

Maximum entropy production and earthquake dynamics [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 We examine the consistency of natural and model seismicity with the maximum entropy production hypothesis for open, slowly‐driven, steady‐state, dissipative systems. Assuming the commonly‐observed power‐law feedback between remote boundary stress and strain rate at steady state, several natural observations are explained by the system organizing to ...

Maximum Entropy Optimum Design for Product Structure [PDF]
, 2006 Taking the product cost as goal function, a maximum entropy method is used to set up a mathematical model for mechanical structural optimization. By using MATLAB, the computing program is made. And then an example for a mechanical product is given out — a motorcycle frame optimum, this is an optimization with sizes, stresses and frequency constraints ...

A Maximum Entropy Production Evaporation – Transpiration Product for Australia [PDF]
, 2019 Abstract. The aim of this research is to develop evaporation and transpiration products for Australia based on the maximum entropy production model (MEP). We introduce a method into the MEP algorithm of estimating the required model parameters over the entire Australia through the use of pedotransfer function, soil properties and remotely sensed soil ...

Entropy production and lost work for irreversible processes [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper we analyse in depth the Lost Work in an irreversible process (i.e. IRREV REV Lost ) W =W -W . This quantity is also called ‘degraded energy’ or ‘Energy unavailable to do work’. Usually in textbooks one can find the relation Lost U W o TDS .
