Time-dependent, irreversible entropy production and geodynamics.
We present an application of entropy production as an abstraction tool for complex processes in geodynamics. Geodynamic theories are generally based on the principle of maximum dissipation being equivalent to the maximum entropy production. This represents a restriction of the second law of thermodynamics to its upper bound. In this paper, starting from the equation of motion, the first law of ...
متن کاملThe Maximum Entropy Relaxation Path
The relaxed maximum entropy problem is concerned with finding a probability distribution on a finite set that minimizes the relative entropy to a given prior distribution, while satisfying relaxed max-norm constraints with respect to a third observed multinomial distribution. We study the entire relaxation path for this problem in detail. We show existence and a geometric description of the rel...
متن کاملRadiative entropy production-cost heat into entropy
Heat flow SQ of the First Law of Thermodynamics is expressed in terms of the entropy flow &Q/T) SQ = SIT(QIT)I = ~~(Q/~+(Q~~d~ where T&Q/T) denotes the energy equivalent of the entropy flow, and (Q/T)dT introduces the concept of lost heat into entropy production. Here Q = QK f Q R where superscripts K and R indicate conduction and radiation, respectively. In terms of the lost heat, dimensionles...
متن کاملReaction Kinetics Path Based on Entropy Production Rate and Its Relevance to Low-Dimensional Manifolds
The equation that approximately traces the trajectory in the concentration phase space of chemical kinetics is derived based on the rate of entropy production. The equation coincides with the true chemical kinetics equation to first order in a variable that characterizes the degree of quasi-equilibrium for each reaction, and the equation approximates the trajectory along at least final part of ...
متن کاملEntropy Production in Ecosystems
We present an extremely minimal ecosystem model which takes account of thermodynamic constraints on the organisms’ metabolism. This suggests a way to test the application of a hypothesised principle of Maximum Entropy Production to ecosystems. It also puts definite physical bounds on the rates at which matter can flow through the system and paves the way for more detailed models that have therm...
