Measuring thermodynamic length [PDF]
, 2007 Thermodynamic length is a metric distance between equilibrium thermodynamic states. Among other interesting properties, this metric asymptotically bounds the dissipation induced by a finite time transformation of a thermodynamic system.

New Invariant Expressions in Chemical Kinetics
Entropy, 2020 This paper presents a review of our original results obtained during the last decade. These results have been found theoretically for classical mass-action-law models of chemical kinetics and justified experimentally.

Thermodynamic equilibrium in general relativity [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2019 The thermodynamic equilibrium condition for a static self-gravitating fluid in the Einstein theory is defined by the Tolman-Ehrenfest temperature law, $T{\sqrt {g_{00}(x^{i})}} = constant$, according to which the proper temperature depends explicitly on the position within the medium through the metric coefficient $g_{00}(x^{i})$.

Thermodynamics of iron oxide gas-solid reduction based on the minimized Gibbs free energy principle
工程科学学报, 2017 A thermodynamic model for gas-solid reduction reactions of iron oxides was established based on the minimized Gibbs free energy principle. On the basis of the model calculation results, the equilibrium diagram for the gas-solid reduction reactions of ...

Temperature steerable flows and Boltzmann generators
Physical Review Research, 2022 Boltzmann generators approach the sampling problem in many-body physics by combining a normalizing flow and a statistical reweighting method to generate samples in thermodynamic equilibrium.

The statistical thermodynamics of equilibrium [PDF]
Annals of Physics, 1963 Abstract A statistical thermodynamics is developed in terms of extensive variables (additive invariants) distributed over a cellular division in space. In general, this distribution is governed by randomness and by correlations. The present theory, however, deals explicitly only with randomness, although correlations are implicit in the so-called ...

Thermodynamic and dynamical predictions for bifurcations and non-equilibrium phase transitions
Communications Physics, 2023 “Critical transitions”, in which systems switch abruptly from one state to another are ubiquitous in physical and biological systems. Such critical transitions in complex systems are commonly described as dynamical processes within the framework of ...

On the Thermodynamic Equilibrium in the Universe [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1928 With the establishing of the second law it was realized that all the actual processes on earth are irreversible and unidirectional in the sense of this law. The same is true for the solar system as the sun is radiating energy continually in an irreversible way.

Thermodynamic Efficiency Out of Equilibrium [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 Equilibrium thermodynamics satisfactorily explains the efficiency of macroscopic machines, whose operation is posited as a quasi-static, infinite time, zero power process exemplified by the Carnot heat engine. Microscopic biomolecular motors differ markedly from their macroscopic counterparts, as they are subject to large fluctuations, operate far from

Local non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractLocal Shannon entropy lies at the heart of modern thermodynamics, with much discussion of trajectory-dependent entropy production. When taken at both boundaries of a process in phase space, it reproduces the second law of thermodynamics over a finite time interval for small scale systems.
