In a relativistic context, the main purpose of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) is to generalize principles non-equilibrium thermodynamics domain fluid dynamics. particular, theory aims at modelling any diffusion-type process (like heat as diffusion energy, viscosity momentum, charge-conductivity particles) directly from thermodynamic laws. Although in Newtonian physics this task can ...

Superconcentrated electrolytes, being highly thermodynamically nonideal, provide a stringent proving ground for continuum transport theories. Herein, we test an ostensibly complete model of LiPF6 in ethyl-methyl carbonate (EMC) based on the Onsager–Stefan–Maxwell theory from irreversible thermodynamics. We perform synchronous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and chronopotentiometry to examine h...

Earthquakes are non-linear phenomena that often treated as a chaotic natural processes. We propose the use of Second Law Thermodynamics and entropy, H, an indicator equilibrium state seismically active region (a seismic system). In this sense, in paper we demonstrate exportability first principles (e.g., thermodynamics laws) to others scientific fields seismology). suggest relationship between ...

The relation between Thermodynamics and Economics is a paramount issue in Ecological Economics. Two different levels can be distinguished when discussing it: formal and substantive. At the formal level, a mathematical framework is used to describe both thermodynamic and economic systems. At the substantive level, thermodynamic laws are applied to economic processes. In Ecological Economics, the...

There are at least two valid approaches to the thermodynamics of electrons in metals. One takes a microscopic view, based on models of electrons in metals and superconductor and uses statistical mechanics to calculate the total thermodynamic functions for the model-based system. Another uses partial molar quantities, which is a rigorous thermodynamic method to analyze systems with components th...

Many fruitful analogies have emerged between the theories of quantum entanglement and thermodynamics, motivating pursuit an axiomatic description akin to laws thermodynamics. A long-standing open problem has been establish a true second law entanglement, in particular unique function which governs all transformations entangled systems, mirroring role entropy Contrary previous promising evidence...

Light scattering due to the interaction of photons and acoustic waves present in a dilute inert gas is analyzed through use irreversible thermodynamics. The dispersion relation, which governs dynamics density fluctuation allows establishment simple criterion for corresponding Rayleigh-Brillouin spectrum be observed. here proposed clear physical interpretation suggests generalizations other inte...
