Thermoeconomic evaluation aims at diagnosing the malfunction of energy systems and at optimizing their structure and performance. One of the main limitations of this approach is the adequate treatment of dissipative ...

Some dynamical and statistical properties for a conservative as well as the dissipative problem of relativistic particles in a waveguide are considered. For the first time, two different types of dissipation namely: (i) ...

Electronic components with high thermal dissipation, can cause serious problems for the developed product. The electronic components are limited by the maximum operating temperature, this characteristic is called junction ...

By analyzing a paradigmatic example of the theory of dissipative systems - the classical and quantum dissipative standard map - we are able to explain the main features of the decay to the quantum equilibrium state. The ...

We report for the first time on the formation of spirals like vegetation patterns in isotropic and uniform environmental conditions. The vegetation spirals are not waves and they do not rotate. They belong to the class of ...

This paper deals with the application of the lumped dissipation model in the analysis of reinforced concrete structures, emphasizing the nonlinear behaviour of the materials The presented model is based on the original ...

The influence of weak dissipation and its consequences in a two-dimensional mapping are studied. The mapping is parametrized by an exponent gamma in one of the dynamical variables and by a parameter delta which denotes the ...
