This work aims to study the energy transfer and recombination processes in N$_{2}$$\left(^{1}\sum^{+}_{g}\right)$+N$\left(^{4}S_{u}\right)$ and O$_{2}$$\left(^{3}\sum^{+}_{g}\right)$+O$\left(^{3}P_{2}\right)$ chemical systems when the…
This work presents a general unifying theoretical framework for quantum non-equilibrium systems. It is based on a re-statement of the dynamical problem as one of inferring the distribution of collision events that move a system toward…
Biochemical processes typically involve many chemical species, some in abundance and some in low molecule numbers. Here we first identify the rate constant limits under which the concentrations of a given set of species will tend to…
In Boltzmannian statistical mechanics macro-states supervene on micro-states. This leads to a partitioning of the state space of a system into regions of macroscopically indistinguishable micro-states. The largest of these regions is…
The general Ericksen-Leslie system for the flow of nematic liquid crystals is reconsidered in the non-isothermal case aiming for thermodynamically consistent models. The non-isothermal model is then investigated analytically. A fairly…
Using methods of kinetic theory and liquid state theory we propose a description of the non-equilibrium behavior of molecular fluids which takes into account their microscopic structure and thermodynamic properties. The present work…
Transition rates in continuously driven steady states were derived in [Evans R M L, 2005 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 38, 293] by demanding that no information other than the microscopic laws of motion and the macroscopic observables of the…
We study the non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of a system of freely moving particles, in which binary encounters lead either to an elastic collision or to the disappearance of the pair. Such a system of {\em ballistic annihilation}…
The present work revisits the reduction of the nonlinear dynamics of an electromechanical system through a quasi-steady state hypothesis, discussing the fundamental aspects of this type of approach and clarifying some confusing points found…
In self-gravitating stars, two dimensional or geophysical flows and in plasmas, long range interactions imply a lack of additivity for the energy; as a consequence, the usual thermodynamic limit is not appropriate. However, by contrast with…
We examine the question of whether the formal expressions of equilibrium statistical mechanics can be applied to time independent non-dissipative systems that are not in true thermodynamic equilibrium and are nonergodic. By assuming the…
Equilibrium thermodynamics describes the energy exchange of a body with its environment. Here, we describe the global energy exchange of an ideal gas in the Coutte flow in a thermodynamic-like manner. We derive a fundamental relation…
We derive a functional for the entropy contributed by any microscopic degrees of freedom as arising from their measurable pair correlations. Applicable both in and out of equilibrium, this functional yields the maximum entropy which a…
In this article, we consider a dynamic model of a three-phase power system including nonlinear generator dynamics, transmission line dynamics, and static nonlinear loads. We define a synchronous steady-state behavior which corresponds to…
We describe and demonstrate a method to reconstruct an amplitude equation from the nonlinear relaxation dynamics in the succession of the Rosensweig instability. A flat layer of a ferrofluid is cooled such that the liquid has a relatively…
Minimal models of active and driven particles have recently been used to elucidate many properties non-equilibrium systems. However, the relation between energy consumption and changes in the structure and transport properties of these…
The extension of thermodynamic principles to active matter remains a challenge due to the non-equilibrium nature inherent to active systems. In this study, we introduce a framework to assess entropy in our minimal macroscopic experiment…
We propose a novel approach in the study of transport phenomena in dense systems or systems with long range interactions where multiple particle interactions must be taken into consideration. Within Boltzmann's kinetic formalism, we study…
A positive rate of entropy production at steady state is a distinctive feature of truly non-equilibrium processes. Exact results, while being often limited to simple models, offer a unique opportunity to explore the thermodynamic features…
In this paper, explicit method of constructing approximations (the Triangle Entropy Method) is developed for nonequilibrium problems. This method enables one to treat any complicated nonlinear functionals that fit best the physics of a…
