Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...

The study of extended thermodynamics for polyatomic gases represents a significant advance in our understanding of non-equilibrium systems. This framework extends classical thermodynamics by ...

Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

In am amazing first, scientists have created quantum entanglement at a macroscopic level at room temperature. So let’s take a moment to break this all down. To begin, quantum entanglement is one of ...

Researchers have encountered a partial violation of the second law of thermodynamics in a quantum system known as Hofstadter lattice. This partial violation has no place within the framework of ...

Objects with sizes in the nanometer range, such as the molecular building blocks of living cells or nanotechnological devices, are continuously exposed to random collisions with surrounding molecules.

This unit covers the principles of thermodynamics with applications in chemical engineering. Thermodynamics is a framework which tells us about energy utilisation and efficiency and hence is ...

Description: Basic principles and concepts of thermodynamics applied to chemical engineering problems; use of basic thermodynamic functions of enthalpy, entropy, free energy to solutions, phase ...

Two systems exist in thermal equilibrium if no heat passes between them. Computers, which consume energy and give off heat as ...

Improved understanding of transport in concentrated electrolyte solutions has important implications for energy storage, water purification, biological applications, and more. This understanding ...
