Thermodynamics for non-equilibrium pattern formation

open access: yesAIP 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.

Extreme Fisher Information, Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Reciprocity Relations [PDF]

open access: goldEntropy, 2011
In employing MaxEnt, a crucial role is assigned to the reciprocity relations that relate the quantifier to be extremized (Shannon’s entropy S), the Lagrange multipliers that arise during the variational process, and the expectation values that constitute

The non-equilibrium thermodynamics of active suspensions

open access: goldNew Journal of Physics
Active suspensions composed of self-propelled colloidal particles are considered. The propulsion of these micrometric particles is generated by chemical reactions occurring by heterogeneous catalysis at their surface and by diffusiophoresis coupling the ...

Toward the Relational Formulation of Biological Thermodynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 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.

Thermodynamics of scale-dependent Friedmann equations

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
In this work, the role of a time-varying Newton constant under the scale-dependent approach is investigated in the thermodynamics of the Friedman equations.

Linear stochastic thermodynamics

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2022
We study the thermodynamics of open systems weakly driven out-of-equilibrium by nonconservative and time-dependent forces using the linear regime of stochastic thermodynamics. We make use of conservation laws to identify the potential and nonconservative

Unified Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics and the Stability of Relativistic Theories for Dissipation

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
In a relativistic context, the main purpose of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) is to generalize the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to the domain of fluid dynamics.
