The increased sensitivity of the instrument results from a second passage of the readout laser beam through the Soret cell containing the sample. An elegant description of the total beam deflection is achieved by means of a transfer matrix formalism. The higher sensitivity allows for a reduction of the length of the detection arm and a compact and stiff design of the instrument. The performance of the new apparatus is demonstrated by its application to polymer analysis for the determination of the molar mass distribution of the polymer from the distribution of diffusion rates by means of the CONTIN algorithm.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140642608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the so-called lack-of-fit reduction, which gives the reduced evolution as a sum of Hamiltonian and gradient dynamics, we reduce the purely Hamiltonian Kac–Zwanzig model to a set of irreversible evolution equations with no fitting parameters.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140538780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper reports on a selective review summarizing the evolution of the ideas and concepts proposed by Carnot. We consider mainly: a. The Carnot cycle relative to thermomechanical engine, b. The concept of efficiency (Carnot efficiency), c. The forms of energy (thermal energy or heat, <jats:italic>Q</jats:italic>, and mechanical energy or work, <jats:italic>W</jats:italic>), d. The concept of entropy, rediscovered and completed by Clausius. We show the importance of the energy conversion irreversibilities that started to be considered more recently by two methods, namely, the ratio method and the entropy production method. The second approach provides more significant results from a global point of view, also with more local modeling (cycle process modeling). Some examples are given that illustrate the proposal: Carnot cycle in endo-irreversible or exo-reversible configuration, Chambadal modeling, Curzon–Ahlborn modeling. More generally, the modeling is done in the frame of FTT (Finite Time Thermodynamics), FST (Finite Speed Thermodynamics), or FDOT (Finite physical Dimensions Optimal Thermodynamics). Preliminary conclusions and perspectives are proposed.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140538680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the comprehensiveness of the research, both types of two-stage coolers, including electrically serial and separated stages, have been investigated. Using the proposed procedure, first by selecting the most important performance parameters of the cooler, i.e. COP and the cooling capacity as objective functions, the efficiency and the validity of the approach are proved by comparing the results with results of the previous researchers. In all the examined cases, the proposed approach has led to the enhancing of the cooler performance. The results of single-objective optimization showed that using the proposed method, the cooling capacity and COP can be improved up to 17 % and 8.5 % compared to the previous designs, respectively. In the following, multi-objective optimization of thermoelectric coolers is conducted, taking into account both the objectives of the COP and the cooling capacity. Finally, Pareto optimal solutions and the exergetic efficiency of the optimized cooler were calculated for different values of the weight factor of the multi-objective function. The results of multi-objective optimization showed that by increasing the COP weight factor in the objective function, the exergetic efficiency of the refrigeration system enhances.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140192494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The well-known heat pulse experiment can be used to determine the thermal diffusivity by measuring the temperature history as a thermal response for a fast excitation. However, the evaluation of the measurements can be challenging, especially when dealing with non-homogeneous samples. The thermal behavior of such heterogeneous materials may exhibit a response including two-time scales. Therefore, the Fourier equation is not necessarily applicable. The simplest possible alternatives are the 2-temperature models the Guyer–Krumhansl and Jeffreys heat equations. In the present paper, we focus on the interpretation of the Jeffreys heat equation; studying its analytical solution, we present a fitting method for determining the unknown parameters. We also discuss its relation with the other two heat equations, and we offer an interpretation of how to characterize the transient response of heterogeneous materials.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140104673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we numerically study the optimization of the efficient power function for the engine under consideration. Then, we obtain some analytic results by applying a high-temperature limit and compare the performance of the engine at maximum efficient power function to the engine operating in the maximum power regime. We find that the engine operating at maximum efficient power function produces at least 88.89 % of the maximum power output while at the same time reducing the power loss due to entropy production by a considerable amount. We conclude by studying the stochastic simulations of the efficiency of the engine in maximum power and maximum efficient power regime. We find that the engine operating at maximum power is subjected to fewer power fluctuations as compared to the one operating at maximum efficient power function.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"184 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139739500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
