The consistent application of thermodynamic knowledge makes it possible to analyze in detail and modify the definition time formulated by Isaac Newton. It also integrate Immanuel Kant's ideas about relationship human sensuality with modern category time. As a result these analyses, there is an updated indication constant that determines rate passage A distinction between concepts duration emerg...

In this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative Brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. Optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. In order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy ti...

T he ability to precisely measure time has had a dramatic impact on society, from the marine chronometers that facilitated navigation in the 18th century, to the satellite-borne atomic clocks that enable the Global Positioning System (GPS) today. But what fundamental limitations does physics place on our ability to measure time? In a new paper, Paul Erker from the Autonomous University of Barce...

We here present the complete analysis of experiments on driven Brownian motion and electric noise in a RC circuit, showing that thermodynamic entropy production can be related to the breaking of time-reversal symmetry in the statistical description of these nonequilibrium systems. The symmetry breaking can be expressed in terms of dynamical entropies per unit time, one for the forward process a...

solid solutions of ag-cu were prepared via ball milling process, for about 5-30 h. the cu-20at%ag and cu-3.64at%ag composition were investigated by x-ray diffraction technique. it was realized that the solid solubility level could be increased by increasing the initial solute content in the mixture. in addition, shifts in peak positions of silver and copper were observed with milling time. the ...
