Sessions
History of thermodynamics (VP, 8/11/2013)
Caloric theory of heat, different forms of energy. Heat engines. Historical perspective.
From reversible to irreversibe equations (MP, 15/11/2013)
Coarse graining of reversible equations in phasespace and time gives irreversible equations. Kac ring (Stosszahlanzatz on average color gives relaxation). Different levels of description.
What is entropy (MP, 22/10/2013)
Jaynes' principle of maximum entropy (MaxEnt) defines what uncertainty or missing information means. Uncertainty was demonstrated on Kac ring. Statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.
Dynamics of fluctuations (OS, MP, 29/10/2013)
Fluctuations in Kac ring. Thermoelectric effect.
Onsager-Casimir reciprocity relations I/II (OS, 05/11/2013)
Proof of the relations. Microscopic reversibility.
Onsager-Casimir reciprocity relations II/II (OS, 12/11/2013)
Microscopic reversibility. Probability distribution of fluctuations.
Classical Irreversible Thermodynamics (MP, 19/11/2013)
Equilibrium dynamics of fluctuations. Classical Irreversible Thermodynamics. Balance equations for a mixture of fluids. Gibbs definition of entropy. Entropy flux. Entropy production. Linear force-flux relations.
Session canceled due to a MORE conference (26/11/2013)
Availability (MP, 3/12/2013)
Quantum adiabatic theorem gives formula for work. What is availability. Probability of fluctuation of an open system. Alternative derivation of Onsager-Casimir relations. Evolution of functionals generated by entropy.
Continuum thermodynamics and Extended irreversible thermodynamics (JB, MP, 10/12/2013)
Minimization in hyperelasticity is, in fact, minimization of availability. Onsager-Casimir reciprocity relations in continuum thermodynamics. Heat conduction within GENERIC. Introduction to Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics - hyperbolic heat conduction, viscoelasticity.
