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

The Deep Physics Behind the Second Law: Information and Energy As Independent Forms of Bookkeeping

Entropy, 2004
: Even after over 150 years of discussion, the interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics continues to be a source of confusion and controversy in physics.

Empirical Evidence for a Law of Information Growth

Entropy, 2001
: Based on a robust, phenomenological model for the growth of a system parameter, a relation is derived to test the evolution of such a parameter through several distinct stages.

Steam Turbine—Quo Vadis?

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021
In this article, a close look is taken at the state-of-the-art in steam turbine and steam (Rankine) cycle technology within the framework of conventional steam and gas turbine combined cycle power plants, specifically, the bottoming steam (Rankine) cycle

The Second Law and Cosmology [PDF]

, 2008
I use cosmology examples to illustrate that the second law of thermodynamics is not old and tired, but alive and kicking, continuing to stimulate interesting research on really big puzzles.

A Method to Derive the Definition of Generalized Entropy from Generalized Exergy for Any State in Many-Particle Systems

Entropy, 2015
The literature reports the proofs that entropy is an inherent property of any system in any state and governs thermal energy, which depends on temperature and is transferred by heat interactions.

Preface: The Second Generation of Second Amendment Law & Policy [PDF]

, 2010
Over 70% of China’s domestic oil production is obtained from nine giant oilfields. Understanding the behaviour of these fields is essential to both domestic oil production and future Chinese oil imports.

Second Law Violation By Magneto-Caloric Effect Adiabatic Phase Transition of Type I Superconductive Particles

Entropy, 2004
: The nature of the thermodynamic behavior of Type I superconductor particles, having a cross section less than the Ginzburg-Landau temperature dependent coherence length is discussed for magnetic field induced adiabatic phase transitions from the ...

A quantum violation of the second law? [PDF]

, 2006
An apparent violation of the second law of thermodynamics occurs when an atom coupled to a zero-temperature bath, being necessarily in an excited state, is used to extract work from the bath.
