Geometry of Multiscale Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics [PDF]
Entropy, 2015 The time evolution of macroscopic systems can be experimentally observed and mathematically described on many different levels of description. It has been conjectured that the governing equations on all levels are particular realizations of a single ...

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of an interface [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2016 Interfacial thermodynamics has deep ramifications in understanding the boundary conditions of transport theories. We present a formulation of local equilibrium for interfaces that extends the thermodynamics of the "dividing surface," as introduced by Gibbs, to nonequilibrium settings such as evaporation or condensation.

Nonequilibrium Black Hole Thermodynamics in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime [PDF]
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2021 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

On the Problem of Formulating Principles in Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics [PDF]
Entropy, 2010 In this work, we consider the choice of a system suitable for the formulation of principles in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It is argued that an isolated system is a much better candidate than a system in contact with a bath. In other words, relaxation

Covariant nonequilibrium thermodynamics from Ito-Langevin dynamics [PDF]
Physical Review Research, 2022 Using the recently developed covariant Ito-Langevin dynamics, we develop a nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory for small systems coupled to multiplicative noises.

Physicochemical Mechanics and Nonequilibrium Chemical Thermodynamics [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 Equilibrium thermodynamics answers the question, “by how much?” Nonequilibrium thermodynamics answers the question “how fast?” The physicochemical mechanics approach presented in this article answers both of these questions.

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Ion Flux through Membrane Channels [PDF]
Entropy, 2017 Ion flux through membrane channels is passively driven by the electrochemical potential differences across the cell membrane. Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has been successful in explaining transport mechanisms, including the ion transport phenomenon ...

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Chemical Reaction Networks: Wisdom from Stochastic Thermodynamics
Physical Review X, 2016 We build a rigorous nonequilibrium thermodynamic description for open chemical reaction networks of elementary reactions. Their dynamics is described by deterministic rate equations with mass action kinetics.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of quantum coherence beyond linear response [PDF]
Communications PhysicsQuantum thermodynamics allows for the interconversion of quantum coherence and mechanical work. Quantum coherence is thus a potential physical resource for quantum machines.
