Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium inversions from a 3D magnetohydrodynamic chromospheric model

Thermodynamic constraints on seismic inversions

S U M M A R Y We discuss two types of physical constraints derived from thermodynamics that can be applied during seismic inversions. The first constraint involves assimilating heat-flow measurements in seismic inversions. This can improve seismic models beneath continents, particularly beneath cratons and continental platforms where uncertainties in crustal radioactive heat production and the ...

Local non-equilibrium thermodynamics

Local Shannon entropy lies at the heart of modern thermodynamics, with much discussion of trajectory-dependent entropy production. When taken at both boundaries of a process in phase space, it reproduces the second law of thermodynamics over a finite time interval for small scale systems. However, given that entropy is an ensemble property, it has never been clear how one can assign such a quan...

v. MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM AND STABILITY

The layout of the major components of the BPX poloidal field (PF) system is shown in Fig. 5.1. External to the toroidal field (TF) magnet and assembly are the seven updown symmetric pairs of primary PF-producing coils. These are called the external PF coils. They are labeled in pairs, with PFlU being the inner (small major radius) PF coil closest to and above the midplane and PFZU-PF7U proceedi...
