Quantum work is usually determined from two projective measurements of the energy at the beginning and at the end of a thermodynamic process. However, this paradigm cannot be considered thermodynamically consistent as it ...

The main objective of this column is to historically connect the pressure–volume diagram (PVD) of the heat mechanical engines and that of the heart—a natural chemical engine—both types being generators of useful work.

The Thermodynamic Formalism provides a rigorous mathematical framework for studying quantitative and qualitative aspects of dynamical systems. At its core, there is a variational principle that corresponds, in its simplest ...

The vapor pressures of the systems n-Hexane/3-Pentanone, n-Hexane/Acetone and n-Heptane/3-Pentanone were measured at several temperatures with a circulation apparature. From these data the thermodynamic functions which ...

In this paper, we study non-uniformly expanding repellers constructed as the limit sets for a non-uniformly expanding dynamical systems. We prove that given a Holder continuous potential phi satisfying a summability ...
