Identifying student resources in reasoning about entropy and the approach to thermal equilibrium
Published 2015-09-01“…As part of an ongoing project to examine student learning in upper-division courses in thermal and statistical physics, we have examined student reasoning about entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. We have examined reasoning in terms of heat transfer, entropy maximization, and statistical treatments of multiplicity and probability. …”

Second Law Analysis of Spectral Radiative Transfer and Calculation in One-Dimensional Furnace Cases
Published 2019-05-01“…Next, this theory is combined with the radiation transfer equation and thus the spectral radiative entropy and the radiative exergy transfer equations are established and verified based on the second law of thermodynamics. Finally, one-dimensional furnace case calculations are performed to determine the applicability to engineering applications. …”

Relaxation terms for anomalous hydrodynamic transport in Weyl semimetals from kinetic theory
Published 2024-02-01“…We find that all relaxations respecting these constraints necessarily render the system open and violate the second law of thermodynamics. We then demonstrate how the relaxations we have found arise from kinetic theory and a modified relaxation time approximation. …”

Designing autonomous Maxwell's demon via stochastic resetting
Published 2023-10-01“…We also discover a dual-function region in a new phase diagram of the demon with resetting, where the demon can remarkably produce work and erase information on the tape at the same time, apparently breaking the second law of thermodynamics. We resolve this paradox by deriving a modified Clausius inequality that includes the cost of resetting.…”

Violations of the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in the higher dimensional f(R) black holes with pressure
Published 2020-03-01“…In the extended phase space, though the first law of thermodynamics is valid, the second law of thermodynamics is invalid. More interestingly, the weak cosmic censorship conjecture is shown to be violated only in higher-dimensional near-extremal f(R) AdS black holes. …”
