The thermodynamics governing 'endoreversible' engines
B. H. Lavenda
The thermodynamics of the Curzon-Ahlborn engine, which is a prototype of endoreversible engines, is elucidated. In particular, their criterion for adiabatic equilibration is revise…
Geometric Entropies of Mixing (EOM)
B. H. Lavenda
Trigonometric and trigonometric-algebraic entropies are introduced. Regularity increases the entropy and the maximal entropy is shown to result when a regular -gon is inscribed…
Thermodynamics of an ideal generalized gas:II Means of order
B. H. Lavenda
The property that power means are monotonically increasing functions of their order is shown to be the basis of the second laws not only for processes involving heat conduction but…
Entropies of Mixing and the Lorenz Order
B. H. Lavenda
Entropies of mixing can be derived directly from the parent distributions of extreme value theory. They correspond to pseudo-additive entropies in the case of Pareto and power func…
Thermodynamics of means
B. H. Lavenda
Thermodynamics of power means applies to an ideal quantum gas which may be nonextensive. Transition to an ideal classical gas occurs when the empirical temperature exponents of the…
Fundamental inconsistencies of 'superstatistics'
B. H. Lavenda
Fundamental inconsistencies of superstatistics are highlighted. There is no such thing as a superposition of Boltzmann factors; what is actually derived is a generating function an…
