Nanoequilibrium Thermodynamics in engineering and science

Article Abstract:

The field of nonequilibrium thermodynamics is studied to assess its utility and impact in engineering and science. It is found that the developments in the fields of thermodynamic optimality of processes, dissipative sturcutres, coupled transport and rate processes, and biological systems suggest that in some circumstances nonequilirium thermodynamic can be quite useful.

Thermodynamics of fractions and its application to the hydration study of the swelling process in fictionalized polymer particles

Article Abstract:

Thermodynamics tools are developed in order to study the contribution of the polar and nonpolar groups inside the polymeric particle and their effects on the swelling process, The results reveal that the hydration behavior of carboxylic and nonpolar groups of the polymeric particles is thermodynamically driven in accordance with the Gibbs-Duhem equation.

Nonextensive approach to thermodynamics: Analysis and suggestions, and application to chemical reactivity

Article Abstract:

An attempt is made to propose a generalization of the rules of classical thermodynamics so that they can be adapted to the description of chemical reactivity in complex media. The justification and the consequences of the conventions along with their application to chemical reactivity are described.
