the purpose of this paper is to investigate the egm method and the behavior of a solid particle suspended in a twodimensional rectangular cavity due to conjugate natural convection. a thermal lattice boltzmann bgk model is implemented to simulate the two dimensional natural convection and the particle phase was modeled using the lagrangian–lagrangian approach where the solid particles are treat...

the mechanical aspect of entropy-exergy relationship, together with the thermal aspect usually consid-ered, leads to an extended formulation of physical exergy based on both maximum useful work and maximum useful heat that are the outcome of available energy of a thermodynamic system. this approach suggests that a mechanical entropy can be studied, in addition to the already used thermal entrop...

this paper presents results of a numerical study of mixed convection and entropy generation of cu–water nanofluid in a square ventilating cavity at different inclination angles. except a piece of bottom wall with a uniform heat flux, all of the cavity walls are insulated. the inlet port is placed at the bottom of the left wall and the outlet port is positioned at the top of the right wall. entr...

The Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis makes a prediction for the statistical distribution of matrix elements simple operators in energy eigenstates chaotic quantum systems. As leading approximation, off-diagonal are described by Gaussian random variables but higher-point correlation functions enforce non-Gaussian corrections which further exponentially suppressed entropy. In this paper, we i...

We present an entropy-stable semi-discretization of the Euler equations. The scheme is based on high-order summation-by-parts (SBP) operators for triangular and tetrahedral elements, although the theory is applicable to multidimensional SBP operators on more general elements. While there are established methods for proving stability of linear equations, such as energy analysis, they are not ade...

the time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. it is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. the phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...

A basic property of the entropy of a discrete random variable x is that: 0 ≤ H(x) ≤ log |X | In fact, the entropy is maximal for the discrete uniform distribution. That is, (∀x ∈ X ) p(x) = 1/|X |, in which case H(x) = log |X |. Definition 3.2 (Conditional entropy). The conditional entropy of y given x is defined as: H(y|x) = ∑ v∈X px(v)H(y|x = v) = − ∑ v∈X px(v) ∑ y∈Y py|x(y|v) log py|x(y|v) =...
