Radiation hydrodynamics simulations based on the one-fluid two-temperature model may violate the law of energy conservation because the governing equations are expressed in a nonconservative formulation. Here, we maintain the important…

We formulate a canonical quantization of Equilibrium Thermodynamics by applying Dirac's theory of constrained systems. Thermodynamic variables are treated as conjugate pairs of coordinates and momenta, allowing extensive and intensive…

We examine the dependence of a thermodynamic potential of a fluid on the geometry of its container. If motion invariance, continuity, and additivity of the potential are fulfilled, only four morphometric measures are needed to describe…

Three different approaches to derive mutual information via thermodynamics are presented where the temperature-dependent energy is given by: (a) $\beta \mathcal{E} = -\ln[P(X,Y)]$, (b) $\beta \mathcal{E} =-\ln[P(Y|X)]$ or (c) $\beta…

We study some mechanical problems in which a friction force is acting on the system. Using the fundamental concepts of state, time evolution and energy conservation we explain how to extend Newtonian mechanics to thermodynamics. We arrive…

Although its practical efficiency is unquestionable, it is well known that thermodynamics presents conceptual difficulties from the theoretical point of view. It is shown that the problem comes from an imperfect compatibility between the…

Using information theory we derive a thermodynamics for systems evolving under a collective motion, i.e. under a time-odd constraint. An illustration within the Lattice gas Model is given for two model cases: a collision between two complex…
