Entropy Minimum Principle Applied to Boundary Value Problem of Non-Linear Heat Conduction

NON-POLYNOMIAL QUARTIC SPLINE SOLUTION OF BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEM

Quartic non-polynomial spline function approximation in off step points is developed, for the solution of fourth-order boundary value problems. Using consistency relation of such spline and suitable choice of parameter,we have obtained second, fourth and sixth orders methods. Convergence analysis of sixth order method has been given. The methods are illustrated by some examples, to verify the or...

Boundary temperature reconstruction in an inverse heat conduction problem using boundary integral equation method

‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider an inverse boundary value problem for two-dimensional heat equation in an annular domain‎. ‎This problem consists of determining the temperature on the interior boundary curve from the Cauchy data (boundary temperature and heat flux) on the exterior boundary curve‎. ‎To this end‎, ‎the boundary integral equation method is used‎. ‎Since the resulting system of linea...

The Minimum Entropy Production Principle

It seems intuitively reasonable that Gibbs' variational principle de­ termining the conditions of heterogeneous equilibrium can be gener­ alized to nonequilibrium conditions. That is, a nonequilibriurn steady state should be the one that makes some kind of generalized-entropy production stationary; and even in the presence of irreversible fluxes, the condition for migrational equilibrium should...
