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.

Generalized Second Law of Thermodynamics for Non-canonical Scalar Field Model with Corrected-Entropy [PDF]
, 2015 In this work, we have considered a non-canonical scalar field dark energy model in the framework of flat FRW background. It has also been assumed that the dark matter sector interacts with the non-canonical dark energy sector through some interaction ...

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 ...

Limits of Landauer’s principle and of the second law of thermodynamics
EntropieSince 1857, the second law of thermodynamics has faced the challenge of Maxwell’s imagined demon. The widely accepted response to this challenge suggests that the demon requires a bit of information to work, and according to Landauer’s principle ...

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

Correlations in quantum thermodynamics: Heat, work, and entropy production [PDF]
, 2016 We provide a characterization of energy in the form of exchanged heat and work between two interacting constituents of a closed, bipartite, correlated quantum system.

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

Interacting Three Fluid System and Thermodynamics of the Universe Bounded by the Event Horizon [PDF]
, 2010 The work deals with the thermodynamics of the universe bounded by the event horizon. The matter in the universe has three constituents namely dark energy, dark matter and radiation in nature and interaction between then is assumed.

Thermodynamics of Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi Model
, 2010 Here we consider our universe as inhomogeneous spherically symmetric Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi Model and analyze the thermodynamics of this model of the universe. The trapping horizon is calculated and is found to coincide with the apparent horizon.
