To analyze the performance of the separation process, we have introduced thethermodynamic concept of exergy through the exergetic efficiency of the column. Thesimulation results show that the exergetic output is relatively low and that the producedir...
Two versions of the so-called Gibbs paradox are discussed. Both of these areshown to be non-paradoxes. It is also shown that there is a different real paradox that emergesfrom Gibbs writings.
It is demonstrated that the entropy of the ideal mono-atomic gas comprisingidentical spherical atoms is not conserved under the Planck-Einstein like relativistictemperature transformation, as a result of the change in the number of atomic degrees off...
Effects of the bounding solid walls are examined numerically for slow flow overregular, square arrays of circular cylinders between two parallel plates. A local magnitudeof the rate of entropy generation is used effectively to determine the flow regi...
Based on a mathematical model of quantum measurement we derive some properties of intuitive time.
It was shown recently that, in the case of Schwarschild black hole, one can obtainthe correct thermodynamic relations by studying a model quantum system and using a partic-ular duality transformation. We study this approach further for the case a gen...
