Local equilibrium and the second law of thermodynamics for irreversible systems with thermodynamic inertia [PDF]
, 2015 Validity of local equilibrium has been questioned for non-equilibrium systems which are characterized by delayed response. In particular, for systems with non-zero thermodynamic inertia, the assumption of local equilibrium leads to negative values of the

Entropy, 2017 The paper discusses how the two thermodynamic properties, energy (U) and exergy (E), can be used to solve the problem of quantifying the entropy of non-equilibrium systems.

Exergy Dynamics of Systems in Thermal or Concentration Non-Equilibrium
Entropy, 2017 The paper addresses the problem of the existence and quantification of the exergy of non-equilibrium systems. Assuming that both energy and exergy are a priori concepts, the Gibbs “available energy” A is calculated for arbitrary temperature or ...

Time and thermodynamics extended discussion on “Time & clocks: A thermodynamic approach”
Results in Physics, 2020 In the paper, “Time & clocks: A thermodynamic approach” Lucia and Grisolia describe the connections between the physical nature of time and macroscopic irreversibility in thermodynamics.

A zero emission scheme for producing energy from natural gas hydrates and conventional natural gas
Petroleum, 2021 The global amount of energy contained in natural gas hydrates is huge, maybe as much as twice all known conventional fossil fuel resources. Unlike the worldwide distribution of conventional fossil fuels, hydrocarbons trapped in water as hydrate is also ...

Extended irreversible thermodynamics and non-equilibrium temperature
Atti della Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti : Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali, 2008 We briefly review the concept of non-equilibrium temperature from the perspectives of extended irreversible thermodynamics, fluctuation theory, and statistical mechanics. The relations between different proposals are explicitly examined in two especially

Thermodynamics of cosmological horizons in $f(T)$ gravity
, 2011 We explore thermodynamics of the apparent horizon in $f(T)$ gravity with both equilibrium and non-equilibrium descriptions. We find the same dual equilibrium/non-equilibrium formulation for $f(T)$ as for $f(R)$ gravity.

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics of Spacetime
, 2006 It has previously been shown that the Einstein equation can be derived from the requirement that the Clausius relation dS = dQ/T hold for all local acceleration horizons through each spacetime point, where dS is one quarter the horizon area change in ...
