Second law of thermodynamics: Spontaneous cold-to-hot heat transfer in a nonchaotic medium
Yu Qiao, Zhaoru Shang
It has long been known that, fundamentally different from a large body of rarefied gas, when a Knudsen gas is immersed in a thermal bath, it may never reach thermal equilibrium. Th…
On the second law of thermodynamics: An ideal-gas flow spontaneously induced by a locally nonchaotic energy barrier
Yu Qiao, Zhaoru Shang
People are well aware that, inherently, certain small-scale nonchaotic particle movements are not governed by thermodynamics. Usually, such phenomena are studied by kinetic theory…
Corona-Enabled Electrostatic Printing for Ultra-Fast R2R Manufacturing of Binder-Free Multifunctional E-Skins
Long Wang, Rui Kou, Zhaoru Shang +2
As essential components in intelligent systems, printed soft electronics (PSEs) are playing crucial roles in public health, national security, and economics. Innovations in printin…
Molecular-Sized Outward-Swinging Gate: Experiment and Theoretical Analysis of a Locally Nonchaotic Barrier
Yu Qiao, Zhaoru Shang, Rui Kou
We investigate the concept of molecular-sized outward-swinging gate, which allows for entropy decrease in an isolated system. The theoretical analysis, the Monte Carlo simulation,…
Producing Useful Work in a Cycle by Absorbing Heat from a Single Thermal Reservoir: An Investigation on a Locally Nonchaotic Energy Barrier
Yu Qiao, Zhaoru Shang
In the current research, we investigate the concept of spontaneously nonequilibrium dimension (SND), and show that a SND-based system can break the second law of thermodynamics. Th…
