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.

Maximum Entropy Production Principle of Thermodynamics for the Birth and Evolution of Life [PDF]
EntropyResearch on the birth and evolution of life are reviewed with reference to the maximum entropy production principle (MEPP). It has been shown that this principle is essential for consistent understanding of the birth and evolution of life.

A Story and a Recommendation about the Principle of Maximum Entropy Production [PDF]
Entropy, 2009 The principle of maximum entropy production (MEP) is the subject of considerable academic study, but has yet to become remarkable for its practical applications.

The Maximum Entropy Production Principle: Its Theoretical Foundations and Applications to the Earth System [PDF]
Entropy, 2010 The Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle has been remarkably successful in producing accurate predictions for non-equilibrium states. We argue that this is because the MEP principle is an effective inference procedure that produces the best ...

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

A review on Thermodynamics in Water Cycle with Emphasizing on Entropy and Maximum Entropy Production Principle [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آب و فاضلاب, 2022 Hydrological cycle is directed into thermodynamic non-equilibrium state and maximum entropy production through thermodynamic processes. Therefore, it is possible to understand and describe hydrological cycle through computation of entropy production rate

Natural Selection as a Process That Increases Metabolic Entropy Production? A Regime-Dependent Analysis in Open Chemostat Systems with Michaelis–Menten Kinetics and Mutation–Selection Dynamics [PDF]
EntropyWe analyse whether Darwinian natural selection acts as a metabolic-entropy-production-increasing process in a model of an open chemostat ecosystem, where Michaelis–Menten uptake kinetics are grounded in a thermodynamically consistent mesoscopic chemical ...

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 ...

External Entropy Production and Human Evolution Toward Multi-Body Life [PDF]
EntropyAncient human beings started “external entropy production” in a late stage of evolution, in addition to the internal entropy production by which energy was dissipated within the body of life, as previously described consistently with the birth of life by
