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.

Non equilibrium thermodynamics with internal variables in Kluitenberg's theory
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2008 We show a method to verify experimentally some inequalities which occur for phenomenological coefficients in the thermodynamical model for dielectric relaxation and viscoanelastic media developed in the ambit of non-equilibrium thermodynamic Kluitenberg ...

Entropy Production: Its Role in Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics [PDF]
Entropy, 2011 It is unquestionable that the concept of entropy has played an essential role both in the physical and biological sciences. However, the entropy production, crucial to the second law, has also other features not clearly conceived.

Comment on 'Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of light absorption' [PDF]
, 2002 A recent paper by Meszéna and Westerhoff (1999 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 32 301) has aimed to address what is referred to as a principal question of biological thermodynamics, the possibility of describing photosynthesis in terms of non-equilibrium ...

Mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2005 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 properties of systems at equilibrium follow.

Entanglement production in non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2009 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.

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. The Navier-Stokes equations in Boussinesq approximation for straight roll convection are solved by a Fourier

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

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