Thermodynamics of inflation

Physical Review D, 1992
Inflationary models that depend on a temperature-dependent phase change require a homogeneous thermal state as an initial condition. In this paper we estimate the average total number of interactions per particle obtained with various models and thereby determine self-consistently whether a thermal state is likely.

Nixon And Thermodynamics

Hospital Practice, 1988
Abstract Richard Milhous Nixon is not my favorite U.S. President, nor is he my least favorite. He did play a major role in determining my career, however, and I think that the time has come to acknowledge his contribution. I was about to say, “to give the devil his due,” but that would be a more judgmental statement than I wish to ...

Thermodynamics on the Nanoscale

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2005
Classical thermodynamics is applied to the melting of nanometer-sized Sn particles with radii in the range 5-50 nm. Such particles display a depression of both the melting point and the latent heat of fusion depending on the particle size. The size dependence can be explained with the formation of a structurally perturbed layer at the particle surface.

From irreversible thermodynamics to network thermodynamics

The Journal of Membrane Biology, 1972
Whenever the subject of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes TIP is brought up among biologists, there seems to be a very polarized reaction: some have found it a useful tool, others reject it utterly, and for some reason which I do not understand, even fervently.

Thermodynamics. II. The extended thermodynamic system

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1981
The algebraic theory of thermodynamics developed in a previous paper is extended to include the algebraic structure that arises from the introduction of a physical body into the theory. The extension is based on very general definitions of both the thermodynamic states of a body and subsystems of that body. The algebraic analysis, which includes bodies

Thermodynamics and Osmoregulation

Nature, 1961
DURING a recent meeting concerning renal function one of the speakers suggested that the reason for the high metabolic rate of the mammalian kidney might be further investigated since very little energy seems to be used in forming the urine. The allusion was to a computation by Borsook and Winegarten1 showing that the thermodynamic efficiency of the ...

Thermodynamics and Corrosion

Corrosion Science, 1990
After having paid tribute to the pionner works of Fritz Haber, Walther Nernst, Ulick Evans and Carl Wagner, the author presents graphical methods in electrochemical thermodynamics — electrode potential/pH and electrode potential/temperature diagrams — and in electrochemical kinetics (polarization curves in stirred solution).

Wormholes and thermodynamics

Physical Review D, 1996
Hawking has recently pointed out that black holes cannot evaporate and disappear through wormholes because the entropy of a baby universe would not equal its size squared times some proportionality constant. In this report it is shown that multiply connected Euclidean wormhole spacetimes can be associated with nonlinear dynamic laws which are analogous
