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 ...

The Holographic Model of Dark Energy and Thermodynamics of Non-Flat Accelerated Expanding Universe [PDF]
, 2006 Motivated by recent results on non-vanishing spatial curvature \cite{curve} we employ the holographic model of dark energy to investigate the validity of first and second laws of thermodynamics in non-flat (closed) universe enclosed by apparent horizon ...

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.).

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 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 ...

Varying c and Particle Horizons [PDF]
, 2001 We explore what restrictions may impose the second law of thermodynamics on varying speed of light theories. We find that the attractor scenario solving the flatness problem is consistent with the generalized second law at late time.Comment: Latex file ...

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
