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.

Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Topology of Currents [PDF]
In many experimental situations, a physical system undergoes stochastic evolution which may be described via random maps between two compact spaces. In the current work, we study the applicability of large deviations theory to time-averaged quantities which describe such stochastic maps, in particular time-averaged currents and density functionals.

Exergy Dynamics of Systems in Thermal or Concentration Non-Equilibrium
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”
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.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of concentration polarization [PDF]
Ultrafiltration is a membrane separation process with many applications, including the treatment of industrial wastes and the processing of milk and juices. Academics are also interested in ultrafiltration as a possible tool for measuring empirical coefficients such as the diffusion coefficient and the permeability.

A zero emission scheme for producing energy from natural gas hydrates and conventional natural gas
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 ...

A Schroedinger link between non-equilibrium thermodynamics and Fisher information
It is known that equilibrium thermodynamics can be deduced from a constrained Fisher information extemizing process. We show here that, more generally, both non-equilibrium and equilibrium thermodynamics can be obtained from such a Fisher treatment ...

Extended irreversible thermodynamics and non-equilibrium temperature
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
