Minimum Entropy Production of Neutrino Radiation in the Steady State
نویسنده
چکیده
A thermodynamical minimum principle valid for photon radiation is shown to hold for arbitrary geometries. It is successfully extended to neutrinos, in the zero mass and chemical potential case, following a parallel development of photon and neutrino statistics. This minimum principle stems more from that of Planck than that of classical Onsager-Prigogine irreversible thermodynamics. Its extension from bosons to fermions suggests that it may have a still wider validity.

In this study; the Rayleigh–Bénard convection model was established; and a great number of Bénard cells with different numbered vortexes were acquired by numerical simulation. Additionally; the Bénard cell with two vortexes; which appeared in the steady Bénard fluid with a different Rayleigh number (abbreviated Ra); was found to display the primary characteristics of the system’s entropy produc...

Massive progenitor stars end their life in an explosion event with kinetic energies of the order 1051 erg. Behind the explosion ejecta, the low density and high entropy region formed immediately after the explosion is subject to neutrino heating. The neutrinos emitted from the remnant at the center, a protoneutron star (PNS), continually heat the material above the PNS surface. This heat is par...
متن کاملFact-Checking Ziegler's Maximum Entropy Production Principle beyond the Linear Regime and towards Steady States
We challenge claims that the principle of maximum entropy production produces physical phenomenological relations between conjugate currents and forces, even beyond the linear regime, and that currents in networks arrange themselves to maximize entropy production as the system approaches the steady state. In particular: (1) we show that Ziegler’s principle of thermodynamic orthogonality leads t...

A compact fin-tube heat exchanger is used to transfer current fluid heat inside the tubes into the air outside. In this study, entropy production and optimized Reynolds number for finned-tube heat exchangers based on the minimum entropy production have been investigated. As a result, the total entropy of compact heat exchangers, which is the summation of the production rate of fluid entropy ins...
