Steepest Entropy Ascent Model for Far-Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics. Unified Implementation of the Maximum Entropy Production Principle

open access: yes, 2014
By suitable reformulations, we cast the mathematical frameworks of several well-known different approaches to the description of non-equilibrium dynamics into a unified formulation, which extends to such frameworks the concept of Steepest Entropy Ascent (

Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Conformal Field Theory

open access: yes, 2016
We present a model independent, operator algebraic approach to non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics within the framework of two-dimensional Conformal Field Theory. Two infinite reservoirs in equilibrium at their own temperatures and chemical potentials

Relativistic non-equilibrium thermodynamics revisited [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of gravitational screens [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2014
We study the Einstein gravity equations projected on a timelike surface, which represents the time evolution of what we call a gravitational screen. We show that such a screen behaves like a viscous bubble with a surface tension and an internal energy ...

Systems, variational principles and interconnections in non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2023
The paper investigates a systematic approach to modelling in non-equilibrium thermodynamics by focusing upon the notion of interconnections, where we propose a novel Lagrangian variational formulation of such interconnected systems by extending the ...

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of diffusion in fluctuating potentials [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2022
A positive rate of entropy production at steady-state is a distinctive feature of truly non-equilibrium processes. Exact results, while being often limited to simple models, offer a unique opportunity to explore the thermodynamic features of these ...

Entanglement Production in Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: greenJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2007
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.
