Family of Probability Distributions Derived from Maximal Entropy Principle with Scale Invariant Restrictions
Giorgio Sonnino, György Steinbrecher, Alessandro Cardinali +2
Using statistical thermodynamics, we derive a general expression of the stationary probability distribution for thermodynamic systems driven out of equilibrium by several thermodyn…
Comments on "Maximum or minimum entropy production ? How to select a necessary criterion of stability for a dissipative fluid or plasma"
Giorgio Sonnino, Mustapha Tlidi, Jarah Evslin
In a recent paper, Phys. Rev E 81, 041137 (2010), the author attempts to derive ten necessary conditions for stability of dissipative fluids and plasmas. Assuming the validity of t…
Rotation of Tokamak-Plasmas out of Mechanical Equilibria, in Absence of External Torques
Giorgio Sonnino, Alessandro Cardinali, Alberto Sonnino +1
Rotation of tokamak-plasmas, not at the mechanical equilibrium, is investigated utilizing a theorem of thermodynamics, established by Prigogine. This theorem, suitably applied to t…
General Approach for Deriving Reference Distribution Functions for Systems out of Equilibrium by Statistical Thermodynamics
Giorgio Sonnino, Alessandro Cardinali, Mustapha Tlidi +3
A general approach for deriving the expression of reference (density of) distribution functions, F^0, by statistical thermodynamics and the definition of local equilibrium conditio…
