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 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 ...

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 ...

Antimatter and the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
Foundations of Science, 2020 AbstractIn this short paper we make a proposal that the second law of thermodynamics holds true for a closed physical system consisting of pure antimatter in the thermodynamical limit, but in a reversed form. We give two plausible arguments in favour to this proposal: one refers to the CPT theorem of relativistic quantum field theories while the other ...

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

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,

The Second Law of Thermodynamics in Bioenergetics [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974 Bioenergetic processes are viewed as processes of free energy transduction. The free energies of both local equilibrium and fluctuation states are being considered. It is shown that the exchange of thermal energy with the surrounding medium, acting as a reservoir, does not violate the second law of thermodynamics within broad limits.
