Exergy Dynamics of Systems in Thermal or Concentration Non-Equilibrium

open access: yesEntropy, 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”

open access: yesResults 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.

Thermodynamics of exponential Kolmogorov–Nagumo averages

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2023
This paper investigates generalized thermodynamic relationships in physical systems where relevant macroscopic variables are determined by the exponential Kolmogorov–Nagumo average.

Exploring quantum thermodynamics with NMR

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Open, 2023
Quantum thermodynamics seeks to extend non-equilibrium stochastic thermodynamics to small quantum systems where non-classical features are essential to its description.

Towards understanding how surface life can affect interior geological processes: a non-equilibrium thermodynamics approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Life has significantly altered the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and crust. To what extent has it also affected interior geological processes? To address this question, three models of geological processes are formulated: mantle convection, continental ...

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

open access: yesPetroleum, 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 ...

Hot and Heavy Matters in the Foundations of Statistical Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Are the generalizations of classical equilibrium thermodynamics true of self-gravitating systems? This question has not been addressed from a foundational perspective, but here I tackle it through a study of the "paradoxes" commonly said to afflict such ...

Making Sense of Gravitational Thermodynamics

open access: yesPhilosophy of Physics
The use of statistical methods to model gravitational systems is crucial to physics practice, but yet the extent to which thermodynamics and statistical mechanics genuinely apply to these systems is a contentious issue.

Extended irreversible thermodynamics and non-equilibrium temperature

open access: yesAtti 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
