Tsallis Entropy applied to microfluidic channels analysis

This work investigated the possibility to describe fluid flow in a microchannel from thermodynamic point of view, exploring evaluate presence obstacles (or, more general, geometry imperfection) and their influence on fluid. Tsallis entropy concept was employed. form introduced 1988 by Costantino as basis for generalizing standard statistical mechanics generalization Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. Inspired nature, where storing information is an intrinsic ability natural systems, here we investigate capability interacting systems transport/store generated/exchanged interaction process energy or matter, preserving it over time. In detail, test consider carrier information, speculating about how use such information. The final goal demonstrate that theory can be used illuminate physical observations, even those cases equations describing phenomenon under investigation are intractable, affected budget uncertainty makes solution not affordable may known. this exploratory work, theory-based approach applied microfluidic data. classical study with obstacle specific faced integrating Technically, computational dynamics simulations at Reynolds’ numbers (Re) equal 1 were carried out fluidic channels presenting rectangular simulated fields.
