Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics View on Kinetics of Autocatalytic Reactions—Two Illustrative Examples [PDF]

Molecules, 2021
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]

Entropy
Local equilibrium approximation (LEA) is a central assumption in many applications of non-equilibrium thermodynamics involving the transport of energy, mass, and momentum.

Local non-equilibrium thermodynamics. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2015
AbstractLocal 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 time interval for small scale systems.

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and Fluctuations [PDF]

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2003
In the last ten years, a number of ``Conventional Fluctuation Theorems'' have been derived for systems with deterministic or stochastic dynamics, in a transient or in a non-equilibrium stationary state.

Relativistic non-equilibrium thermodynamics revisited [PDF]

Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, 2005
Relativistic irreversible thermodynamics is reformulated following the conventional approach proposed by Meixner in the non-relativistic case. Clear separation between mechanical and non-mechanical energy fluxes is made.

Mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics

Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2008
Basic concepts like energy, heat, and temperature have acquired a precise meaning after the development of thermodynamics. Thermodynamics provides the basis for understanding how heat and work are related and with the general rules that the macroscopic ...

Thermodynamics for non-equilibrium pattern formation

AIP Advances, 2011
The second entropy theory for non-equilibrium thermodynamics is used to show that the optimum structure or pattern of a time-dependent system corresponds to the maximum entropy. A formula for the total entropy of convective heat flow is derived.

Covariant Relativistic Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Multi-Component Systems [PDF]

Entropy, 2019
Non-equilibrium and equilibrium thermodynamics of an interacting component in a relativistic multi-component system is discussed covariantly by exploiting an entropy identity.

Toward the Relational Formulation of Biological Thermodynamics

Entropy, 2023
Classical thermodynamics employs the state of thermodynamic equilibrium, characterized by maximal disorder of the constituent particles, as the reference frame from which the Second Law is formulated and the definition of entropy is derived.
