Entropy production lies at the heart of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, a field that examines systems away from equilibrium where continuous energy flows and irreversible processes dominate. In such ...

Entropy of liquid Na: the present calculation (red) and experimental data (black). The entropy value is normalized by the gas constant R. T 1 denotes the melting temperature. Osaka, Japan - A ...

In all of physical law, there’s arguably no principle more sacrosanct than the second law of thermodynamics — the notion that entropy, a measure of disorder, will always stay the same or increase. “If ...

Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at The Ohio State University, host of Ask a Spaceman and Space Radio, and author of "Your Place in the Universe" (2018). Sutter contributed this article to ...

Pity the poor thermodynamics student of the future. As difficult as thermo can be for budding engineers to learn, it is going to get a lot more complicated if a recently published theory is true.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract ABSTRACT Vertical heat transport through thermal convection of the earth’s atmosphere is investigated from a thermodynamic viewpoint. The ...

One of the enormous conceptual ideas that came along with Einstein's theory of relativity was the surprise that time itself, long considered fundamental and universal, is actually relative. Different ...

Murphy's Law states, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." Entropy is sort of like Murphy's Law applied to the entire universe. Put simply, entropy is a measure of disorder, and the Second Law ...

The Journal of Philosophy was founded in 1904 as The Journal of Philosophy, Psychology, and Scientific Methods by Frederick J. E. Woodbridge and J. McKeen Cattell. In 1906, Wendell T. Bush became ...
