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 ...

Bluff your Way in the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]

, 2001
The aim of this article is to analyse the relation between the second law of thermodynamics and the so-called arrow of time. For this purpose, a number of different aspects in this arrow of time are distinguished, in particular those of time-(a)symmetry ...

Emergence of the second law out of reversible dynamics [PDF]

, 2009
If one demystifies entropy the second law of thermodynamics comes out as an emergent property entirely based on the simple dynamic mechanical laws that govern the motion and energies of system parts on a micro-scale.

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

Generic Constitutional Law [PDF]

, 2004
As Justice Breyer has observed, '[j]udges in different countries increasingly apply somewhat similar legal phrases to somewhat similar circumstances.' This article explains why constitutional law is bound to display strong underlying similarities, if not

The adiabatic piston: a perpetuum mobile in the mesoscopic realm

Entropy, 2004
: A detailed analysis of the adiabatic-piston problem reveals, for a finely-tuned choice of the spatial dimensions of the system, peculiar dynamical features that challenge the statement that an isolated system necessarily reaches a time-independent ...

Mechanical Proof of the Second Law of Thermodynamics Based on Volume Entropy [PDF]

, 2007
In a previous work (M. Campisi. Stud. Hist. Phil. M. P. 36 (2005) 275-290) we have addressed the mechanical foundations of equilibrium thermodynamics on the basis of the Generalized Helmholtz Theorem.
