General Formula for the Efficiency of Quantum-Mechanical Analog of the Carnot Engine by Sumiyoshi Abe

“…This non-universal nature results from the fact that there exists no analog of the second law of thermodynamics in pure-state quantum mechanics where the von Neumann entropy identically vanishes. …”

Analysis of Finite Elastoplastic Deformations. Kinematics and Constitutive Equations by L.U. Sultanov

“…The constitutive equations are deduced using the theory of flow and the second law of thermodynamics. As a result, a dependence of the stress tensor rate on the free energy function and the yield function is obtained.…”

Thermodynamics of continuous non-Markovian feedback control by Maxime Debiossac, David Grass, Jose Joaquin Alonso, Eric Lutz, Nikolai Kiesel

“…The second law of thermodynamics cannot be straightforwardly applied to systems with non-Markovian feedback control, and previous extensions to cover that regime have not been tested experimentally. …”

Generalized Clausius inequalities in a nonequilibrium cold-atom system by Daniel Mayer, Eric Lutz, Artur Widera

“…The Clausius inequality is a way of analysing the entropy of a given process and its routes can be found in the second law of thermodynamics. Here, the authors study the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of an ultracold atomic gas in order to confirm the validity of two generalized Clausius inequalities and provide insight into the processes of thermodynamic inequalities and nonequilibrium processes.…”

Pressure and entropy of hard spheres in the weakly nonequilibrium heat-conduction steady state by Y.A. Humenyuk

“…It is shown that the gradient contributions to the internal energy depend on the volume, while the entropy satisfies the second law of thermodynamics for nonequilibrium processes. The calculations are performed for dimensions 3D, 2D, and 1D.…”

The Criticism of Atheistic Evolution by Dr Farah Ramin

“…With regard to close relation between evolution theory and religious knowledge, and its prodigious influence on arising new schools in philosophy; this paper firstly considers the outcome of Darwin’s theologian theory in brief; secondly it talks about recent controversies such as: ambiguity of Fitness concept, tautology and the usage of probability calculation in this theory,opposition of the second law of thermodynamics (Entropy), biological information in DNA, irreducible complexity, Fine-tuning of decisive nature constant and Anthropic Principle.…”

Coordinated chemomechanical cycles: a mechanism for autonomous molecular motion. by Green, S, Bath, J, Turberfield, A

“…The second law of thermodynamics requires that directed motion be accompanied by dissipation of energy. …”

Landauer's erasure, error correction and entanglement by Vedral, V

“…By then extending this principle to entanglement manipulations we rederive upper bounds on purification procedures, thereby linking the 'no local increase of entanglement' principle to the second law of thermodynamics. © 2000 The Royal Society.…”

Thermodynamics of quantum systems with multiple conserved quantities by Yelena Guryanova, Sandu Popescu, Anthony J. Short, Ralph Silva, Paul Skrzypczyk

“…The second law of thermodynamics constrains how much of a conserved quantity, such as energy, can be extracted from a system in the form of work. …”

Exergy Analysis and Second Law Efficiency of a Regenerative Brayton Cycle with Isothermal Heat Addition by Naser M. Jubeh

“…Abstract: The effect of two heat additions, rather than one, in a gas turbine engine is analyzed from the second law of thermodynamics point of view. A regenerative Brayton cycle model is used for this study, and compared with other models of Brayton cycle. …”

On the misuse of Prigogine's Global Formulation of the Second Law and the Prediction of Negative Entropy Production in Macroscopic Irreversible Processes by Pedro J. Colmenares

“…We clarify all the thermodynamic misleading and, provide theoretical and experimental evidence2 that, a macroscopic level of description, the proposal has no chance of being observed phenomenologically because of the restrictions imposed by the second law of thermodynamics.…”

The adiabatic piston: a perpetuum mobile in the mesoscopic realm by Claudio Conti, Paolo Porto, Bruno Crosignani

“…In particular, the piston behaves like a perpetuum mobile, i.e., it never comes to a stop but keeps wandering, undergoing sizeable oscillations around the position corresponding to maximum entropy; this has remarkable implications on the entropy changes of a mesoscopic isolated system and on the limits of validity of the second law of thermodynamics in the mesoscopic realm.…”
