The Second Law and Entropy Misconceptions Demystified
Entropy, 2020 The challenges and claims of hypothetical violations of the Second Law of thermodynamics have been a topic of many scientific, philosophical and social publications, even in the most prestigious scientific journals.

The second laws of quantum thermodynamics [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance In ordinary thermodynamics, transitions are governed by a single quantity–the free energy. Its monotonicity is a formulation of the second law. Here, we find that the second law for microscopic or highly correlated systems takes on a very different form than it does at the macroscopic scale, imposing not just one constraint on ...

The Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
Nature, 1905 Is it not true that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is contradicted by the known facts of diffusion? When, for instance, masses of hydrogen and nitrogen are separated by a palladium partition, a difference of pressure is set up, owing to the diffusion of some of the hydrogen into the compartment which at first contained only nitrogen.

The Rectified Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2006 Equilibrium thermodynamics is combined with Jarzynski's irreversible work theorem to quantify the excess entropy produced by irreversible processes. The resulting rectified form of the second law parallels the first law, in the sense that it facilitates the experimental measurement of excess entropy changes resulting from irreversible work and heat ...

Fundamental science and medicine at the crossroads of life concept
Акушерство, гинекология и репродукция, 2022 The laws of fundamental science dictate the rules of thinking. And the latter, in turn, form the methodology of science. With the discovery of the second law of thermodynamics, it became possible to approach the issues of the universe in a different way,

Extended irreversible thermodynamics of heat transport. A brief introduction; pp. 118–126 [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2008 Current frontiers of technology require generalized transport equations incorporating memory, non-local effects, and non-linear effects. Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics provides such transport equations in a form compatible with the second law of ...

How “Berry Phase” Analysis of Non-Adiabatic Non-Hermitian Systems Reflects Their Geometry
Entropy, 2023 There is currently great interest in systems represented by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, including a wide variety of real systems that may be dissipative and whose behaviour can be represented by a “phase” parameter that characterises the way “exceptional

Second law of thermodynamics for batteries with vacuum state [PDF]
Quantum, 2021 In stochastic thermodynamics work is a random variable whose average is bounded by the change in the free energy of the system. In most treatments, however, the work reservoir that absorbs this change is either tacitly assumed or modelled using ...

Thermodynamics in f(G,T) Gravity
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2018 This paper explores the nonequilibrium behavior of thermodynamics at the apparent horizon of isotropic and homogeneous universe model in f(G,T) gravity (G and T represent the Gauss-Bonnet invariant and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, resp.).

The Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
Nature, 1893 THE point which Mr. Browne (p. 102) raises is covered by Voigt (“Thermodynamik,” vol. ii., § 69, pp. 209 et seq.). Ordinary diffusion of two gases at equal pressure and temperature is an irreversible process involving loss of available energy, but when the diffusion takes place through porous membranes this available energy can be utilised in a greater
