Journal ArticleDOI
Phase diagrams for activated CVD diamond growth
TL;DR: In this article, a non-equilibrium thermodynamic coupling model is used for low pressure activated diamond syntheses, based on binary carbon-hydrogen, carbon-oxygen, and ternary CO 2 phase diagrams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coupling between n levels of observation of a system (biological or physical) resulting in creation of structures
TL;DR: In this article, a general comparison between thermodynamical behaviours of N level systems and one level systems is made, and it is shown that an N level system can be considered rather as a living ensemble compared to a one level system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new thermal–hydraulic process for solar cooling
Matthieu Martins,Matthieu Martins,Sylvain Mauran,Sylvain Mauran,Driss Stitou,Pierre Neveu,Pierre Neveu +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a novel and innovative solar cooling, air-conditioning process for individual buildings, which uses common flat plate collectors and an original coupling between an engine cycle and a reverse cycle, which are respectively a Rankine-like cycle and reverse Rankine cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoscience-based virtual process engineering
TL;DR: Accounting for complex mesoscale structures was found to be the key to predicting system performance from elemental properties, and hence a bottleneck for process systems engineering, and the development and generalization of the EMMS model may present a continuous attempt to provide this key link.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy transformation and entropy production in living systems I. Applications to embryonic growth.
D. Briedis,Richard C. Seagrave +1 more
TL;DR: Using the results of the energy calculations and a generalized expression for the rates of internal and total entropy production, the Prigogine-Wiame hypothesis is examined for the developing embryo with two different assumptions regarding the efficiency of biomass conversion.
