Self-Organization, Entropy Generation Rate, and Boundary Defects: A Control Volume Approach

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Self-organization that leads to the discontinuous emergence of optimized new patterns is related to entropy generation and the export of entropy. Compared to the original pattern that the new, self-organized pattern replaces, the new features could ...

Foraging Dynamics and Entropy Production in a Simulated Proto-Cell

open access: yesEntropy, 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 ...

An Evolution Based on Various Energy Strategies

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
The simplest model of the evolution of agents with different energy strategies is considered. The model is based on the most general thermodynamic ideas and includes the procedures for selection, inheritance, and variability.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Bistability in Rayleigh–Bénard Convection

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Bistability is often encountered in association with dissipative systems far from equilibrium, such as biological, physical, and chemical phenomena.

Information Entropy Dynamics and Maximum Entropy Production Principle

open access: yesCoRR, 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).

Transport of charged particles: Entropy production and Maximum Dissipation Principle [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2015
In order to describe the dynamics of crowded ions (charged particles), we use an energetic variation approach to derive a modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) system which includes an extra dissipation due to the effective velocity differences between ion species.

Is Turbulence a State of Maximum Energy Dissipation?

open access: yesEntropy, 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 Principle for Stock Returns [PDF]

open access: yes2015 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, 2015
In our previous studies we have investigated the structural complexity of time series describing stock returns on New York's and Warsaw's stock exchanges, by employing two estimators of Shannon's entropy rate based on Lempel-Ziv and Context Tree Weighting algorithms, which were originally used for data compression.

Entropy production and lost work for irreversible processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 .

Understanding Atmospheric Behaviour in Terms of Entropy: A Review of Applications of the Second Law of Thermodynamics to Meteorology

open access: yesEntropy, 2011
The concept of entropy and its relevant principles, mainly the principle of maximum entropy production (MEP), the effect of negative entropy flow (NEF) on the organization of atmospheric systems and the principle of the Second Law of thermodynamics, as ...
