Statistical Aspects in Variational Principles with Heat Flow

نویسنده

  • Stanislaw Sieniutycz
چکیده

nonequilibrium statistical mechanics we focus on nonequilibrium corrections Δs to entropy and energy of the fluid in terms of the nonequilibrium density distribution function, f. We also evaluate coefficients of wave model of heat such as: relaxation time, propagation speed and thermal inertia. With these data a quadratic Lagrangian and a variational principle of Hamilton's type follows for a fluid with heat flux in the field representation of fluid motion. We discuss canonical conservation laws and show the satisfaction of the second law under the constraint of these conservation laws.

Variational principles for thermal transport in nanosystems with heat slip flow.

Some years ago, Prigogine minimum entropy production principle was generalized by Lebon and Dauby to account for the nonlocal heat transport equation derived by Guyer and Krumhansl. Here, this criterion is extended to incorporate the effects of heat slip flow along the walls. This formulation is shown to be useful for the description of steady heat flow in nanosystems, where the heat slip flow ...

Non-Fourier heat conduction equation in a sphere; comparison of variational method and inverse Laplace transformation with exact solution

Small scale thermal devices, such as micro heater, have led researchers to consider more accurate models of heat in thermal systems. Moreover, biological applications of heat transfer such as simulation of temperature field in laser surgery is another pathway which urges us to re-examine thermal systems with modern ones. Non-Fourier heat transfer overcomes some shortcomings of Fourier heat tran...

Variational Formulations and Extended Thermodynamics for Resting Irreversible Fluids with Heat Flow

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics helps to estimate corrections to the entropy and energy of the fluid with heat flux in terms of the nonequilibrium distribution function, f. This leads to the coefficients of wave model of heat: relaxation time, propagation speed and thermal inertia. With these data a quadratic Lagrangian and a variational principle of Hamilton’s type follows for the fluid i...

Nonequilibrium entropies

In contrast to the quite unique entropy concept useful for systems in (local) thermodynamic equilibrium, there is a variety of quite distinct nonequilibrium entropies, reflecting different physical points. We disentangle these entropies as they relate to heat, fluctuations, response, time-asymmetry, variational principles, monotonicity, volume contraction or statistical forces. However, not all...

Variational theory for thermodynamics of thermal waves.

We discuss description of macroscopic representations of thermal fields with finite signal speed by composite variational principles involving suitably constructed potentials along with original physical variables. A variational formulation for a given vector field treats all field equations as constraints that are linked by Lagrange multipliers to the given kinetic potential. We focus on the e...
