The Second Law of Thermodynamics as a Force Law [PDF]
Entropy, 2018 The second law of thermodynamics states the increase of entropy, Δ S > 0 , for real processes from state A to state B at constant energy from chemistry over biological life and engines to cosmic events.

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics—The Nonequilibrium Perspective [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 An alternative to the Carnot-Clausius approach for introducing entropy and the second law of thermodynamics is outlined that establishes entropy as a nonequilibrium property from the onset.

Thermoelectric Cycle and the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 In 2019, Schilling et al. claimed that they achieved the supercooling of a body without external intervention in their thermoelectric experiments, thus arguing that the second law of thermodynamics was bent.

Revisions of the Phenomenological and Statistical Statements of the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
EntropyThe status of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, even in the 21st century, is not as certain as when Arthur Eddington wrote about it a hundred years ago.

A Symmetric Form of the Clausius Statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
EntropyBridgman once reflected on thermodynamics that the laws of thermodynamics were formulated in their present form by the great founders of thermodynamics, Kelvin and Clausius, before all the essential physical facts were in, and there has been no adequate ...

What Is the Real Clausius Statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics? [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 In this paper, we first analyze the difference between the second law of thermodynamics and the laws in other disciplines. There are some phenomena in other disciplines similar to the Clausius Statement of the second law, but none of them has been ...

Quantum engine efficiency bound beyond the second law of thermodynamics [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Evaluating maximum conversion efficiency from heat to work using non-thermal baths can lead to meaningless results, when based only on the reversibility requirement.
