This paper deals with the long-standing conflict between interpretations of thermoelectricity based on original reversible thermodynamics Thomson and later irreversible Onsager. It is shown that, by a slight modification Maxwellian relaxation treated in previous [J. Goddard K. Kamrin, “Dissipation potentials from elastic collapse,” Proc. R. Soc. A 475, 20190144 (2019)], Onsager's symmetry simpl...

Building upon the techniques introduced in [12], for any θ < 1 10 we construct periodic weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations which dissipate the total kinetic energy and are Höldercontinuous with exponent θ. A famous conjecture of Onsager states the existence of such dissipative solutions with any Hölder exponent θ < 1 3 . Our theorem is the first result in this direction.

The usual order parameter for Bose-Einstein condensation involves the off-diagonal correlation function of Penrose and Onsager, but an alternative is Feynman's notion of infinite cycles. We present a formula that relates both order parameters. We discuss its validity with the help of rigorous results and heuristic arguments. The conclusion is that infinite cycles do not always represent the Bos...

The problem of computing the lower tail of a Gaussian norm is considered in this paper. Based on large deviations arguments, a bound on these tails is derived which is tighter than those obtained by other methods. Conditional exponential moment bounds are also derived and as an application, L 2 type Onsager-Machlup functionals for diiusions are computed.

The common rules of classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics do not allow an Onsager coefficient like the viscosity to depend on the shear rate. Such a dependence is experimentally well documented, however. In this paper it is shown, using nonequilibrium thermodynamics alone, how it is possible that the effective viscosity coefficient of an isotropic colloidal system depends on both the shear ra...

one of the main components of lung alveoli is surfactant. dppc (dipalmitolphosphatidylcholine) is thepredominant lipid component in lung surfactant that is responsible for lowering surface tension in alveoli in thisarticle. we used a very approximate model with computational method of ab initio to describe the interactionsbetween dppc as important component of lung surfactant and some chemical ...
