The following multi-route mechanisms were chosen for studying, i.e., the two-route mechanism with the single common intermediate, the three-route mechanism with some common steps, and the two-route mechanism with the single common step and two common intermediates. All mentioned mechanisms exhibit the CPE-phenomenon. At given rate coefficients, the mechanism with the single common intermediate showed the greater CPE-effect than the mechanism with the common steps. A special computer experiment was performed in which the kinetic characteristics of non-catalytic and catalytic reactions have been compared. In this experiment, both non-catalytic and catalytic reactions have the same overall-reactions with the given equilibrium constant. It was shown that the absolute values of extreme concentrations at the CPE-point are almost the same. In this case, it is possible to estimate the concentrations at the CPE-values for complex reactions based on similar characteristics of the corresponding simple ones.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"229 - 241"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42999472","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 viscoelastic fluid and the heat flux have different relaxation times. The main interest is on the curves of criticality for different thicknesses ratio D and thermal conductivities ratio X. In the middle range of log X the curves of criticality stabilize depending on the other parameters of the problem. It is revealed that for some Prandtl numbers the curves of criticality remain higher for small X and lower for large X. However, increasing the Prandtl number this behavior is reversed. It is shown that this has important consequences in the order of the criticality curves when the heat flux relaxation time is increased. Depending on the Prandtl number, an increase of this relaxation time may decrease (destabilize) the curves of criticality until a minimum is reached, after which the curves start to increase (stabilize) again. For two different magnitudes of the viscoelastic relaxation time, the critical Rayleigh number, wavenumber and frequency of oscillation are plotted against log X for different magnitudes of D and the heat flux relaxation time.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"271 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43408006","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}

Nevertheless, it overlooks acoustic effects, and it provides the unpleasant shortcoming of infinite propagation speed of velocity perturbations, no matter the type of constitutive equation for the shear stresses is adopted. In this paper, we provide a derivation of a new formulation of the Navier–Stokes equations for liquid flows that overcomes the above issues. The pressure looses its ancillary status of mere gauge variable (or equivalently Lagrange multiplier of the incompressibility condition) enforcing the solenoidal nature of the velocity field, and attains the proper physical meaning of hydrodynamic field variable characterized by its own spatiotemporal evolution. From the experimental evidence of sound attenuation, related to the occurrence of a non-vanishing bulk viscosity, the evolution equation for pressure in out-of-equilibrium conditions is derived without introducing any adjustable parameters. The connection between compressibility and memory effects in the propagation of internal stresses is established. Normal mode analysis and some preliminary simulations are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"207 - 228"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49336616","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}

Based on a few selected examples, two thermodynamic arguments are led which rationalise the above distinction from different points of view: a phase-rule point of view and a Gibbs energy minimization approach. “Conceptually complete” reactions involve pure phases and, as a consequence, establishing chemical equilibrium would imply a negative variance, what is avoided by the complete consumption of one or more phases. In the Gibbs energy approach, “conceptually complete” reactions and “practically complete” ones can be distinguished (at fixed temperature and pressure) by the different way to attain the minimum Gibbs energy condition, respectively with sharp (not differentiable) and flat (zero derivative) minimum points as a function of the extent of reaction ξ.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"195 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49058590","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}

ECP can be classified as two-, three- and four-mass-reservoir devices. The usual performance indicators for ECPs are energy pumping rate (EPR) and coefficient of performance (COP). Energy-based ecological function objective (EFO) is introduced to performance optimization of three-reservoir ECP. Optimization relationships between EFO and COP with linear and diffusive mass transfer laws (MTLs) are deduced. Numerical examples are provided, and influences of cycle parameters and MTLs on optimal EFO performances are analyzed. For linear MTL, compared performances at maximum EFO point and point where dimensionless EPR is 0.016, COP increases 14.4% and entropy generation rate (EGR) drops 52% with only 30% loss of EPR. For diffusive MTL, compared performances at maximum dimensionless EFO point and point where dimensionless EPR is 0.01, COP increases 11.3% and EGR drops 46.9% with only 30% loss of EPR. It demonstrates that EFO is a trade-off between EPR and dissipation of EPR, which is beneficial to utilize energy effectively. With the same chemical potentials of three reservoirs, the maximum dimensionless EFO and the corresponding COP with linear MTL are bigger than those with diffusive MTL.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"179 - 194"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42777760","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}

Similarly, in studies of flow-induced crystallization in polymers, a two-phase model is often invoked in which a soft viscoelastic component is coupled with a rigid semi-crystalline phase providing stiffness. In the present work, we use the framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics (NET) to develop stress-strain relationships for such two-phase systems characterized by a viscoelastic and an elastic component by making use of two conformation tensors: the first describes the microstructure of the viscoelastic phase while the second is related to the elastic Finger strain tensor quantifying the deformation of the elastic phase due to strain and is responsible for strain-hardening. The final transport equations are formulated in the context of the generalized bracket formalism of NET and can describe the rheological behavior and mechanical response of a large variety of soft materials ranging from rubbers to artificial tissues.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"91 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46637219","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}

Adipose tissue deposition and other elements of atherosclerosis generate the uncommon artery disease known as arterial stenosis. It limits blood flow and raises the risk of heart disease. Using the Casson model, it is feasible to shed light on the peristaltic blood flow of copper nanoparticles over an overlapping stenotic artery. Nothing is known about the study of heat sink/source, buoyancy and Lorent force, and volume fraction because the focus is on the dynamics of blood carrying minute copper particles through an overlapping stenotic artery. When the Lorentz force is significant, the transport mentioned above was evaluated utilizing stenosis approximations to examine the stream function, wall shear stress, Nusselt number, and flow resistance distribution. In addition, temperature solutions were identified analytically, whereas a perturbation approach acquired velocity solutions. Temperature distribution and velocity are greater in stenosed arteries than in unstenosed arteries. Furthermore, extreme velocity and temperature rise as it reaches the core of the artery and falls as one approaches the wall. When the heat source parameter values increase due to an improvement in the fluid’s thermal state, the temperature distribution increases.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"159 - 178"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47004450","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}
