Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes across a Boundary: Elementary Principles
The commonly used thermodynamic variables are generalized so as to take account of irreversible processes across a thin boundary separating a system from its surroundings. This permits one to relate heat transfer and work performance in irreversible processes to those carried out reversibly. The commonly used functions of state have been generalized to include the contribution of irreversible c...
متن کاملEntropy of Irreversible Processes Across a Boundary
A novel method for determining the entropy associated with irreversible processes has been provided, differing from the conventional theory of irreversible thermodynamics. It permits the direct relation of heat and work transfers in irreversible processes to those in reversible changes, in terms of measurable properties. The same technique is applied to the construction of thermodynamic state f...
متن کاملIrreversible thermodynamics of Poisson processes with reaction.
A kinetic model is derived to study the successive movements of particles, described by a Poisson process, as well as their generation. The irreversible thermodynamics of this system is also studied from the kinetic model. This makes it possible to evaluate the differences between thermodynamical quantities computed exactly and up to second-order. Such differences determine the range of validit...
متن کاملOptimal Processes in Irreversible Thermodynamics and Microeconomics
This paper describes general methodology that allows one to extend Carnot efficiency of classical thermodynamic for zero rate processes onto thermodynamic systems with finite rate. We define the class of minimal dissipation processes and show that it represents generalization of reversible processes and determines the limiting possibilities of finite rate systems. The described methodology is t...
متن کاملIrreversible Thermodynamics
There are alternative sets of postulates which yield entirely equivalent results for several important theories. In such cases the choice of a particular set of postulates may be based upon mathematical simplicity, close relationship to experiments or to the nature of the theory, or merely personal taste. While the postulate of conservation of energy is usually presented in similar form for the...
