Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics in Biochemical Systems and Its Application [PDF]
Living systems are open systems, where the laws of nonequilibrium thermodynamics play the important role. Therefore, studying living systems from a nonequilibrium thermodynamic aspect is interesting and useful.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics in cavity optomechanics [PDF]
Classical thermodynamics has been a great achievement in dealing with systems that are in equilibrium or near equilibrium. As an emerging field, nonequilibrium thermodynamics provides a general framework for understanding the nonequilibrium processes ...

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics and Scale Invariance [PDF]
A variant of continuous nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory based on the postulate of the scale invariance of the local relation between generalized fluxes and forces is proposed here.

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics—The Nonequilibrium Perspective [PDF]
An alternative to the Carnot-Clausius approach for introducing entropy and the second law of thermodynamics is outlined that establishes entropy as a nonequilibrium property from the onset.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of the asymmetric Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model [PDF]
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.

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Polymeric Liquids via Atomistic Simulation [PDF]
The challenge of calculating nonequilibrium entropy in polymeric liquids undergoing flow was addressed from the perspective of extending equilibrium thermodynamics to include internal variables that quantify the internal microstructure of chain-like ...

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics: emergent and fundamental. [PDF]
How can we derive the evolution equations of dissipative systems? What is the relation between the different approaches? How much do we understand the fundamental aspects of a second law based framework? Is there a hierarchy of dissipative and ideal theories at all? How far can we reach with the new methods of nonequilibrium thermodynamics?

Variational principles and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. [PDF]
Variational principles play a fundamental role in deriving the evolution equations of physics. They work well in the case of non-dissipative evolution, but for dissipative systems, the variational principles are not unique and not constructive. With the methods of modern nonequilibrium thermodynamics, one can derive evolution equations for dissipative ...

Universal Foundations of Thermodynamics: Entropy and Energy Beyond Equilibrium and Without Extensivity [PDF]
Thermodynamics is commonly presented as a theory of macroscopic systems in stable equilibrium, built upon assumptions of extensivity and scaling with system size.
