Partition Function and Configurational Entropy in Non-Equilibrium States: A New Theoretical Model

A new model of non-equilibrium thermodynamic states has been investigated on the basis of the fact that all thermodynamic variables can be derived from partition functions. We have thus attempted to define partition functions for non-equilibrium conditions by introducing the concept of pseudo-temper...
