Flux Balances in Non-Equilibrium Steady States: Reading the Entropy Budget

You've got a system that never seems to rest. Inlet temperature holds, outlet concentration holds, yet something keeps churning inside. That's the ste...

When Entropy Production Minimization Hides Bistability: Two Case Studies in Pattern Formation

You have a setup far from equilibrium. You want to know which repeat it will pick. So you reach for a classic rule: minimize entropy assemb. It feels ...

Choosing a Closure Without Linear Irreversible Thermodynamics: Three Nonlinear Alternatives

Linear irreversible thermodynamics (LIT) is a workhorse near equilibrium. But push a setup far from it—chemical oscillations, active matter, rapid hea...
