This paper presents the work for efficiency enhancement on a hybrid power system with an irreversible Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Stirling Engine (SE) various design using approach of finite-time thermodynamics. The SOFC-based cogeneration was integrated SE several heat components. effects configurations interface components performance were investigated. By analyzing thermodynamics consid...

We explore the dynamics of information systems. We show that the driving force for 1 information dynamics is determined by both the information landscape and information flux which 2 determines the equilibrium time reversible and the nonequilibrium time-irreversible behaviours 3 of the system respectively. We further demonstrate that the mutual information rate between the 4 two subsystems can ...

In calorimetry and particularly in heat capacity measurements, different characteristic relaxation time constants may perturb the experiment which cannot be considered at thermodynamic equilibrium. In this case, thermodynamics of irreversible processes has to be taken into account and the calorimetric measurements must be considered as dynamic. In a temperature modulated experiment, such as ac-...
