Entropy Principle and Recent Results in Non-Equilibrium Theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the state of the art on the modern mathematical methods of exploiting the entropy principle in thermomechanics of continuous media. A survey of recent results and conceptual discussions of this topic in some well-known non-equilibrium theories (Classical irreversible thermodynamics CIT, Rational thermodynamics RT, Thermodynamics of irreversible processes TIP, Extended irreversible thermodynamics EIT, Rational Extended thermodynamics RET) is also summarized.

The Explicit Density Functional, and its Connection with Entropy Maximisation
The intrinsic Helmholtz free energy, commonly used as a basis for density functional theories, is here given explicitly as a cluster diagram expansion with density field points. Also given are explicit variational procedures for determining the chemical potential for a given density, the pair potential for a given pair correlation function, and the pair correlation function for a given pair pot...
متن کاملInformation Theory, Predictability and Disequilibrium. Lecture 11: An information theoretic approach to statistical disequilibrium 1 Introduction
In the last two lectures we have seen that the relative entropy between a prediction density and an equilibrium density is a natural measure of the predictability of a statistical system. Furthermore in Lecture 5 we have seen that in a continuous Markov random process governed by the Fokker Planck equation (FPE), the relative entropy between an arbitrary density and the equilibrium density decl...

A physical system is in local equilibrium if it cannot be distinguished from a global equilibrium by " infinitesi-mally localized measurements ". This should be a natural characterization of local equilibrium, but the problem is to give a precise meaning to the qualitative phrase " infinitesimally localized measurements ". A solution is suggested in form of a Local Equilibrium Condition (LEC), ...
متن کاملComparing Dominant and Non-Dominant Hand Performance with Force Changes In a Two-Hand Equilibrium Task: A Challenge to Dominant Hand Theories
Objective: Although most studies believe that the dominant hand performs better than the non-dominant hand in performing various tasks, there is still the challenge among researchers as to why the non-dominant hand performs better than the dominant hand in certain situations and tasks. The aim of this study was to compare dominant and non-dominant hand performance with force changes in a two-ha...
متن کاملMaximum entropy production and plant optimization theories.
Plant ecologists have proposed a variety of optimization theories to explain the adaptive behaviour and evolution of plants from the perspective of natural selection ('survival of the fittest'). Optimization theories identify some objective function--such as shoot or canopy photosynthesis, or growth rate--which is maximized with respect to one or more plant functional traits. However, the link ...
