Pitfalls of exergy analysis
Petr Vágner, Michal Pavelka, František Maršík
The well-known Gouy-Stodola theorem states that a device produces maximum useful power when working reversibly, that is with no entropy production inside the device. This statement…
Gradient dynamics and entropy production maximization
Adam Janečka, Michal Pavelka
Gradient dynamics describes irreversible evolution by means of a dissipation potential, which leads to several advantageous features like Maxwell--Onsager relations, distinguishing…
Braun-Le Chatelier principle in dissipative thermodynamics
Michal Pavelka, Miroslav Grmela
Braun-Le Chatelier principle is a fundamental result of equilibrium thermodynamics, showing how stable equilibrium states shift when external conditions are varied. The principle f…
Hamiltonian and Godunov Structures of the Grad Hierarchy
Miroslav Grmela, Liu Hong, David Jou +2
The time evolution governed by the Boltzmann kinetic equation is compatible with mechanics and thermodynamics. The former compatibility is mathematically expressed in the Hamiltoni…
Hamiltonian Coupling of Electromagnetic Field and Matter
Oğul Esen, Michal Pavelka, Miroslav Grmela
Reversible part of evolution equations of physical systems is often generated by a Poisson bracket. We discuss geometric means of construction of Poisson brackets and their mutual…
