A nonequilibrium irreversible thermodynamics model for material damping
AbstractMaterial damping in a continuum, which inherently involves multiple coupled irreversible thermodynamic processes, is associated with irreversible interchanges of various forms of energy. In this paper, a hybrid framework of internal state variables and extended state variables is proposed to formulate a material damping model for complex ...

Thermodynamic Stability Theories of Irreversible Processes and the Fourth Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
Three approaches for determining the thermodynamic stability of irreversible processes are described in generalized formulations. The simplest is the Gibbs–Duhem theory, specialized to irreversible trajectories, which uses the concept of virtual ...

Irreversible-thermodynamic approach to nonequilibrium heat fluctuations [PDF]
Starting from a generalized nonequilibrium entropy, and from an extension of the Einstein formula for the probability of the fluctuations, we obtain the second moments of nonequilibrium fluctuations of the specific energy and the heat flux in rigid heat conductors.

Nonequilibrium Black Hole Thermodynamics in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime
This work discusses the black hole thermodynamics in a weak dynamical Anti-de Sitter spacetime, which should be described by the nonequilibrium thermodynamics, because the metric depends on the time coordinate. Taking the Vaidya-Anti-de Sitter black hole

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the asymmetric Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model
Most natural systems operate far from equilibrium, displaying time-asymmetric, irreversible dynamics characterized by a positive entropy production while exchanging energy and matter with the environment.

Thermodynamically consistent gradient elasticity with an internal variable [PDF]
The role of thermodynamics in continuum mechanics and the derivation of proper constitutive relations is a topic discussed in Rational Mechanics. The classical literature did not use the accumulated knowledge of thermostatics and was very critical of the

Classical and quantum stochastic thermodynamics [PDF]
The stochastic thermodynamics provides a framework for the description of systems that are out of thermodynamic equilibrium. It is based on the assumption that the elementary constituents are acted by random forces that generate a stochastic dynamics ...

The irreversible mechanism of heat engines is studied in terms of thermodynamic consistency and thermomechanical dynamics (TMD) which is proposed for a method to study nonequilibrium irreversible thermodynamic systems. As an example, a water drinking bird (DB) known as one of the heat engines is specifically examined.

Ensemble formalism for nonequilibrium systems and an associated irreversible statical thermodynamics [PDF]
It is reviewed what can be considered as the present research trends in what regards to the construction of an ensemble formalism - Gibbs' style - for the case of far-from-equilibrium systems. The main questions involved are presented accompanied with brief discussions.
