Informational-statistical thermodynamics of a complex system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply a statistical-thermodynamic approach to the study of a particular physical system (two sets of nonlinearly coupled oscillators), driven far away from equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Network and thermodynamic conditions for a single macroscopic current fluctuation theorem

TL;DR: In this article, Andrieux et al. analyzed the different situations where a fluctuation theorem can be proved for a single macroscopic current of a system in a nonequilibrium steady state sustaining several transport processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative phosphorylation: thermodynamic criteria for the chemical and chemiosmotic hypotheses

TL;DR: The chemiosmotic hypothesis is shown to be a limiting case of the chemical hypothesis and the P/O ratio cannot be expected to be constant, but will vary with A(p) ( ex)/A(o) (ex); for certain ranges the variation may be marked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extensivity and the thermodynamic limit: Why size really does matter

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the thermodynamic limit and extensivity in light of systems for which they appear inadequate and find that their limitations lead to counterintuitive thermodynamic results involving heat flow, phase separations, thermostatistics of gravitating systems and the conversion efficiency of heat into work.
