Arbitrary nonequilibrium steady-state construction with a levitated nanoparticle

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2023
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics provides a general framework for understanding nonequilibrium processes, particularly in small systems that are typically far from equilibrium and dominated by fluctuations.

Experimental characterization of autonomous heat engine based on minimal dynamical-system model

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
The autonomous heat engine is a model system of autonomous nonequilibrium systems, exploiting nonequilibrium flow for operations. As the Carnot engine has essentially contributed to the equilibrium thermodynamics, an autonomous heat engine is expected to

Improvement of Error Correction in Nonequilibrium Information Dynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Errors are inevitable in information processing and transfer. While error correction is widely studied in engineering, the underlying physics is not fully understood.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of feedback control [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2012
We establish a general theory of feedback control on classical stochastic thermodynamic systems, and generalize nonequilibrium equalities such as the fluctuation theorem and the Jarzynski equality in the presence of feedback control with multiple measurements. Our results are generalizations of the previous relevant works to the situations with general

Contact Geometry of Mesoscopic Thermodynamics and Dynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
The time evolution during which macroscopic systems reach thermodynamic equilibrium states proceeds as a continuous sequence of contact structure preserving transformations maximizing the entropy.

Chemical thermodynamics for growing systems

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2022
We consider growing open chemical reaction systems (CRSs), in which autocatalytic chemical reactions are encapsulated in a finite volume and its size can change in conjunction with the reactions.

Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Heat Transport in Superlattices, Graded Systems, and Thermal Metamaterials with Defects

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
In this review, we discuss a nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory for heat transport in superlattices, graded systems, and thermal metamaterials with defects.

The steady state fluctuation relation for the dissipation function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We give a proof of transient fluctuation relations for the entropy production (dissipation function) in nonequilibrium systems, which is valid for most time reversible dynamics. We then consider the conditions under which a transient fluctuation relation

Thermodynamic substantiation of the direction of nonequilibrium processes in triadconjugations of machine parts based on the principles of maximum and minimum entropy

open access: yesПроблеми трибології, 2022
The article gives a thermodynamic substantiation of the direction of nonequilibrium processes in tribocouples of machine parts, in tribosystems, based on the principles of maximum and minimum entropy.

Thermal Contact

open access: yesEntropy, 2008
The concepts of temperature and entropy as applied in equilibrium thermodynamics do not easily generalize to nonequilibrium systems and there are transient systems where thermodynamics cannot apply.
