Thermodynamic equipartition for increased second law efficiency

In this work, a clear distinction is drawn between irreversibility associated with a finite mean driving force in a transport process and irreversibility associated with variance in the spatial and/or temporal distribution of this driving force. The portion of irreversibility associated with driving force variance is quantified via a newly defined dimensionless quantity, the equipartition facto...

Second law efficiency for living cells.

The exergetic analysis of the biosystems is developed. It takes into account that cells are able to convert only part of the energy absorbed. The result is to highlight the fundamental role of the exergy as a quantity useful to develop considerations on the cells behavior in relation to normal or disease states.

Thermodynamic Equipartition and Energy Efficient Membrane Networks*

This paper considers the relative merits of three optimization objective functions for the design of an energy efficient pervaporation membrane network for ethanol dehydration: the minimization of the standard deviation of the thermodynamic driving force, of the entropy generation, and of the power of separation. The resulting designs are compared with those of a standard numerical optimization...

An Economics-Based Second Law Efficiency

Second Law efficiency is a useful parameter for characterizing the energy requirements of a system in relation to the limits of performance prescribed by the Laws of Thermodynamics. However, since energy costs typically represent less than 50% of the overall cost of product for many large-scale plants (and, in particular, for desalination plants), it is useful to have a parameter that can chara...

argumentation of order and the second law of thermodynamic

the second law of thermodynamic (entropy principle) is of special theo-philosophical importance. it seems that this law, which is renowned as “the death of software design” and despite the order in the world, is like an incompatible universal. this article examines the concept of entropy in the three temperature, statistic, and information applications and addresses the contradiction of the sec...
