Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical instabilities and sustained oscillations.
René Lefever,Grégoire Nicolis +1 more
TL;DR: The temporal behaviour of a chemical system beyond a non-equilibrium unstable transition is analysed and compared to the behaviour of Volterra-Lotka type systems and certain types of biological rythmic phenomena are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conductivity of metals and alloys
P. G. Klemens,R. K. Williams +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the theory of thermal conductivity of metals and alloys is reviewed, and deviations from the Sommerfeld value of the Lorentz ratio are discussed at high temperature due to incomplete degeneracy of the electron gas (Fermi smearing), at low temperatures due to the inelastic nature of electron-phonon interactions and to the electron-electron interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
On thermomechanical restrictions of continua
TL;DR: It is shown by means of an example that even yield–type phenomena can be accommodated within this framework, while they cannot within the framework of Onsager, and issues concerning constraints, especially in thermoelasticity, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffuse-interface model for rapid phase transformations in nonequilibrium systems.
Peter Galenko,David Jou +1 more
TL;DR: A thermodynamic approach to rapid phase transformations within a diffuse interface in a binary system is developed and finiteness of the heat and solute diffusive propagation at the finite speed of the interface advancing is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Least dissipation principle of heat transport potential capacity and its application in heat conduction optimization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined heat transport potential capacity and its dissipation based on the essence of heat transport phenomenon and their physical meanings are the overall heat transfer capability and the dissipation rate of the heat transfer capacity.
