On the Problem of Formulating Principles in Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics
In this work, we consider the choice of a system suitable for the formulation of principles in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It is argued that an isolated system is a much better candidate than a system in contact with a bath. In other words, relaxation processes rather than stationary processes are more appropriate for the formulation of principles in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Arguing th...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Thermodynamics and Scale Invariance
A variant of continuous nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory based on the postulate of the scale invariance of the local relation between generalized fluxes and forces is proposed here. This single postulate replaces the assumptions on local equilibrium and on the known relation between thermodynamic fluxes and forces, which are widely used in classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It is shown...
متن کاملNonequilibrium thermodynamics and glassy rheology
Mechanically driven glassy systems and complex fluids exhibit a wealth of rheological behaviors that call for theoretical understanding and predictive modeling. A distinct feature of these nonequilibrium systems is their dynamically evolving state of structural disorder, which determines their rheological responses. Here we highlight a recently developed nonequilibrium thermodynamic framework i...
متن کاملNonequilibrium thermodynamics of spacetime.
It has previously been shown that the Einstein equation can be derived from the requirement that the Clausius relation dS=deltaQ/T hold for all local acceleration horizons through each spacetime point, where is one-quarter the horizon area change in Planck units and deltaQ and T are the energy flux across the horizon and the Unruh temperature seen by an accelerating observer just inside the hor...
متن کاملVariational nonequilibrium thermodynamics of reaction-diffusion systems. III. Progress variables and dissipation of energy and information
We continue, in this article, to develop the formalism of nonequilibrium thermodynamics in variational form. We prove that in the framework of progress variables, the Hamilton–Jacobi equation has always a simple solution, and we prove that this solution becomes a state function if and only if there is a thermodynamic equilibrium for the system. We study an inequality between the dissipation of ...
