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.

Bayesian second law of thermodynamics
Physical Review E, 2016 We derive a generalization of the Second Law of Thermodynamics that uses Bayesian updates to explicitly incorporate the effects of a measurement of a system at some point in its evolution. By allowing an experimenter's knowledge to be updated by the measurement process, this formulation resolves a tension between the fact that the entropy of a ...

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.

Fermi's golden rule and the second law of thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2020 We present a Gedankenexperiment that leads to a violation of detailed balance if quantum mechanical transition probabilities are treated in the usual way by applying Fermi's "golden rule".

A Kinetic Perspective on k - ϵ Turbulence Model and Corresponding Entropy Production
Entropy, 2016 In this paper, we present an alternative derivation of the entropy production in turbulent flows, based on a formal analogy with the kinetic theory of rarefied gas.

Classical Scalar Fields and the Generalized Second Law [PDF]
, 2001 It has been shown that classical non-minimally coupled scalar fields can violate all of the standard energy conditions in general relativity. Violations of the null and averaged null energy conditions obtainable with such fields have been suggested as ...

Editorial: Entropy in Landscape Ecology
Entropy, 2018 Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics are the central organizing principles of nature, but the ideas and implications of the second law are poorly developed in landscape ecology.
