The connection between the balance structure of the evolution equations of higher order fluxes and different forms of the entropy current is investigated on the example of rigid heat conductors. It is argued that Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics with dynamic degrees of freedom gives a proper general frame of these investigations. Thermodynamic closure relations are derived.

We examine conservation laws, typically the conservation of linear momentum, in the light of a recent successful formulation of fermions as Kerr-Newman type Black Holes, which are created uctuationally from a background Zero Point Field. We conclude that these conservation laws are to be taken in the spirit of thermodynamic laws. Conservation Laws, as is universally known, play an important rol...

To investigate the relationship between gravity and thermodynamics in case of dynamic systems, we interpret apparent horizon Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime as a thermodynamic system. We derive corresponding fundamental equation entropy representation explore consequences demanding fulfillment classical laws thermodynamics. detail an FLRW with without cosmological constan...

Using the laws of thermodynamics to explain natural selection—and life itself A t fi rst glance, life and the laws of thermodynamics seem to be at loggerheads. Most glaringly, the second law states that over time, any system will tend to the maximum level of entropy, meaning the minimum level of order and useful energy. Open a bottle of perfume in a closed room, and eventually the pool of scent...

Several comments are given to previous proofs of the generalised second law of thermodynamics: black hole entropy plus ordinary matter entropy never decreases for a thermally closed system. Arguments in favour of its truism are given in the spirit of conventional thermo-dynamics. Thermodynamics (see [1, 2] for introduction) is one of the physical disciplines in which physical laws are governed ...

Several models in mathematical physics are described by quasilin ear hyperbolic systems with source term which in several cases may become sti Here a suitable central numerical scheme for such problems is developed and application to shallow water equations Broadwell model and Extended Thermodynamics are mentioned The numerical methods are a generalization of the Nessyahu Tadmor scheme to the n...
