Radiation Entropy Bound from the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Entropy, 2012 It has been suggested heuristically by Unruh and Wald, and independently by Page, that at given energy and volume, thermal radiation has the largest entropy. The suggestion leads to the corresponding universal bound on entropy of physical systems.

Thermodynamics of Various Entropies in Specific Modified Gravity with Particle Creation
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2018 We consider the particle creation scenario in the dynamical Chern-Simons modified gravity in the presence of perfect fluid equation of state p=(γ-1)ρ. By assuming various modified entropies (Bekenstein entropy logarithmic entropy, power law correction ...

Thermodynamics in modified Brans–Dicke gravity with entropy corrections
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018 In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamics in the frame-work of recently proposed theory called modified Brans–Dicke gravity (Kofinas et al. in Class Quantum Gravity 33:15, 2016).

"A calorie is a calorie" violates the second law of thermodynamics
Nutrition Journal, 2004 The principle of "a calorie is a calorie," that weight change in hypocaloric diets is independent of macronutrient composition, is widely held in the popular and technical literature, and is frequently justified by appeal to the laws of thermodynamics ...

Gravitational Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Entropy, 2015 The spontaneous violation of Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariance in a phase near the big bang lowers the entropy, allowing for an arrow of time and the second law of thermodynamics. The spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to

Helping Pregraduate Students Reach Deep Understanding of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Education Sciences, 2021 Pregraduate students often have low success expectations toward their thermodynamics courses, which are often considered too abstract and remarkably difficult to understand. For this reason, they may not even try to reach any level of comprehension while

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 ...

Heat Transfer and Second Law Analyses for Laminar Film Condensation on a Finite-Size Horizontal Disk
Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2007 This study applies the first and second laws of thermodynamics to investigate the problem of steady filmwise condensation on a finite-size horizontal disk.

The generalized second law of thermodynamics with Barrow entropy
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 We investigate the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics, applying Barrow entropy for the horizon entropy. The former arises from the fact that the black-hole surface may be deformed due to quantum-gravitational effects, quantified by ...
