Analysis of Homogeneous/Heterogeneous Reactions in an Electrohydrodynamic Environment Utilizing the Second Law [PDF]
Micromachines, 2023 In this study, we investigate what happens to entropy in the presence of electrokinetic phenomena. It is speculated that the microchannel has an asymmetrical and slanted configuration.

Second Law and Its Amendment: The Axiom of No-Reversible Directions Revisited [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 A toy model is used to describe the following steps to achieve the no-reversible-direction axiom in a tutorial manner: (i) choose a state space results in the balance equations on state space which are linear in the process directions, (ii) avoid a ...

The Second Law of Thermodynamics as a Force Law. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2018 The second law of thermodynamics states the increase of entropy, Delta S > 0, for real processes from state A to state B at constant energy from chemistry over biological life and engines to cosmic events. The connection of entropy to information, phase-space and heat is helpful, but does not immediately convince observers of the validity and ...

Landauer Principle and the Second Law in a Relativistic Communication Scenario [PDF]
EntropyThe problem of formulating thermodynamics in a relativistic scenario remains unresolved, although many proposals exist in the literature. The challenge arises due to the intrinsic dynamic structure of spacetime as established by the general theory of ...

Second Law and Non-Equilibrium Entropy of Schottky Systems—Doubts and Verification– [PDF]
Entropy, 2018 Meixner’s historical remark in 1969 “... it can be shown that the concept of entropy in the absence of equilibrium is in fact not only questionable but that it cannot even be defined....” is investigated from today’s insight ...

Second Law Analysis for the Experimental Performances of a Cold Heat Exchanger of a Stirling Refrigeration Machine [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 The second law of thermodynamics is applied to evaluate the influence of entropy generation on the performances of a cold heat exchanger of an experimental Stirling refrigeration machine by means of three factors: the entropy generation rate N S

Thermal performance in heat exchangers by the irreversibility, effectiveness, and efficiency concepts using nanofluids [PDF]
Журнал інженерних наук, 2020 The objective of the work is to obtain the outlet temperatures of the fluids in a shell and tube heat exchanger. The second law of thermodynamics is applied through the concepts of efficiency, effectiveness, and irreversibility to analyze the results ...

Nonequilibrium Entropy Conservation and the Transport Equations of Mass, Momentum, and Energy
Energies, 2021 Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics or molecular theory has put the transport equations of mass, momentum and energy on a firm or rigorous theoretical foundation that has played a critical role in their use and applications. Here, it is shown that those

Decoherence, chaos, and the second law [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 1994 We investigate implications of decoherence for quantum systems which are classically chaotic. We show that, in open systems, the rate of von Neumann entropy production quickly reaches an asymptotic value which is: (i) independent of the system-environment coupling, (ii) dictated by the dynamics of the system, and (iii) dominated by the largest Lyapunov
