Local non-equilibrium thermodynamics. [PDF]
Local Shannon entropy lies at the heart of modern thermodynamics, with much discussion of trajectory-dependent entropy production. When taken at both boundaries of a process in phase space, it reproduces the second law of thermodynamics over a finite ...

Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics View on Kinetics of Autocatalytic Reactions-Two Illustrative Examples. [PDF]
Autocatalytic reactions are in certain contrast with the linear algebra of reaction stoichiometry, on which rate equations respecting the permanence of atoms are constructed. These mathematical models of chemical reactions are called conservative.

Local Equilibrium Approximation in Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Diffusion. [PDF]
Local equilibrium approximation (LEA) is a central assumption in many applications of non-equilibrium thermodynamics involving the transport of energy, mass, and momentum.

Formulation of moment equations for rarefied gases within two frameworks of non-equilibrium thermodynamics: RET and GENERIC. [PDF]
In this work, we make a further step in bringing together different approaches to non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The structure of the moment hierarchy derived from the Boltzmann equation is at the heart of rational extended thermodynamics (RET ...

Contact topology and non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
We describe a method, based on contact topology, of showing the existence of semi-infinite trajectories of contact Hamiltonian flows which start on one Legendrian submanifold and asymptotically converge to another Legendrian submanifold.

Entanglement production in non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
We define and analyse the concept of entanglement production during the evolution of a general quantum mechanical dissipative system. While it is important to minimise entropy production in order to achieve thermodynamical efficiency, maximising the rate of change of entanglement is important in quantum information processing.

Discrete systems in thermal physics and engineering: a glance from non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
Non-equilibrium processes in Schottky systems generate by projection onto the equilibrium subspace reversible accompanying processes for which the non-equilibrium variables are functions of the equilibrium ones. The embedding theorem which guarantees the

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of harmonically trapped bosons [PDF]
We apply the framework of non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics to the physics of quenched small-sized bosonic quantum gases in a one-dimensional harmonic trap.
