Minimum Dissipation Principle in Nonlinear Transport
Giorgio Sonnino, Jarah Evslin, Alberto Sonnino
We extend Onsager's minimum dissipation principle to stationary states that are only subject to local equilibrium constraints, even when the transport coefficients depend on the th…
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…
Minimum Rate of Dissipation Principle and Linear Corrections to the Onsager Matrix
Jarah Evslin, Giorgio Sonnino
The Minimum Rate of Dissipation Principle (MRDP) affirms that, for time-independent boundary conditions, a thermodynamic system evolves towards a steady-state with the least possib…
Geometrical Thermodynamic Field Theory
Giorgio Sonnino, Jarah Evslin
A manifestly covariant, coordinate independent reformulation of the Thermodynamic Field Theory (TFT) is presented. The TFT is a covariant field theory that describes the evolution…
