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
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.

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Ion Flux through Membrane Channels
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 ...

A Variational Formulation of Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics for Discrete Open Systems with Mass and Heat Transfer [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2018 We propose a variational formulation for the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of discrete open systems, i.e., discrete systems which can exchange mass and heat with the exterior.

Variational principles and nonequilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2020 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 ...

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics: emergent and fundamental [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2020 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?

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 and phase transition of Ehrenfest urns with interactions
Physical Review Research, 2021 Ehrenfest urns with interaction that are connected in a ring is considered as a paradigm model for nonequilibrium thermodynamics and is shown to exhibit two distinct nonequilibrium steady states (NESS) of uniform and nonuniform particle distributions. As
