Braun-Le Chatelier principle in dissipative thermodynamics
Braun-Le Chatelier principle is a fundamental result of equilibrium thermodynamics, showing how stable equilibrium states shift when external conditions are varied. The principle follows from convexity of a thermodynamic potential.

Thermodynamic extremal principle and its application to Dufour and Soret effects and plasticity
An extremal principle is formulated for thermodynamic systems near equilibrium subjected to various external conditions. It is shown that the principle describes unambiguously the kinetics of the thermodynamic system and replaces classical ...

Unique extension of the maximum entropy principle to phase coexistence in heat conduction
The maximum entropy principle determines the values of thermodynamic variables in thermally isolated equilibrium systems. This paper extends the principle to a variational principle that applies to liquid–gas coexistence in heat conduction.

Geometry of Thermodynamic Processes [PDF]
Since the 1970s contact geometry has been recognized as an appropriate framework for the geometric formulation of the state properties of thermodynamic systems, without, however, addressing the formulation of non-equilibrium thermodynamic processes.

Accurate and reliable phase equilibrium calculations of microemulsion systems are of great importance. This study deals with the thermodynamic modeling of Liquid–Liquid Equilibrium (LLE) of a system including oil (n-decane), brine (containing CaCl2 salt),

Thermodynamic resources in continuous-variable quantum systems
Thermodynamic resources, beyond their well-known usefulness in work extraction and other thermodynamic tasks, are often important also in tasks that are not evidently thermodynamic.

Phase transitions in geometrothermodynamics
Using the formalism of geometrothermodynamics, we investigate the geometric properties of the equilibrium manifold for diverse thermodynamic systems. Starting from Legendre invariant metrics of the phase manifold, we derive thermodynamic metrics for the ...

The equilibrium landscape of the Heisenberg spin chain [PDF]
We characterise the equilibrium landscape, the entire manifold of local equilibrium states, of an interacting integrable quantum model. Focusing on the isotropic Heisenberg spin chain, we describe in full generality two complementary frameworks for ...

The Stumbling Block of the Gibbs Entropy: the Reality of the Negative Absolute Temperatures
The second Tisza-Callen postulate of equilibrium thermodynamics states that for any system there exists a function of the system extensive parameters, called entropy, defined for all equilibrium states and having the property that the values assumed by ...
