The statistical thermodynamics of equilibrium [PDF]
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 Description of Ternary Fe-B-X Systems. Part 6: Fe-B-Ti [PDF]
Thermodynamic optimizations of the ternary Fe-B-Ti system and its binary sub-system, B-Ti are presented. The thermodynamic descriptions of the other binaries, Fe-Ti and Fe-B, are taken from the earlier studies slightly modifying the Fe-Ti system ...

Thermodynamic Insight into the Equilibrium Component Prediction in the Al-Ti-Ca-Oxide System [PDF]
The prediction of equilibrium components for chemical reactions is a considerable section in the metallurgical industry. According to the ion and molecule coexistence theory (IMCT), a modified mass action concentration model based on a thermodynamic ...

On the Thermodynamic Equilibrium in the Universe [PDF]
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]
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

Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Two-dimensional Vortices [PDF]
It has been observed empirically that two dimensional vortices tend to cluster forming a giant vortex. To account for this observation Onsager introduced a concept of negative absolute temperature in equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Local non-equilibrium thermodynamics [PDF]
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.

Thermodynamics “beyond” local equilibrium [PDF]
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has shown its applicability in a wide variety of different situations pertaining to fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. As successful as it is, however, its current formulation considers only systems close to equilibrium, those satisfying the so-called local equilibrium hypothesis.

Condições de equilíbrio termodinâmico: a função disponibilidade
The thermodynamic equilibrium is a state defined by conditions which depend upon some characteristics of the system. It requires thermal, mechanical, chemical and phase equilibrium.
