The thermal vibration phenomenon occurring in the dual-phase-lagging heat conduction violates the second law of thermodynamics under the local equilibrium assumption. In order to resolve this paradox, two types of the extended irreversible thermodynamics are developed in the present work, which make the dual-phase-lagging heat conduction model compatible with the second law of thermodynamics. It is also shown that these extended irreversible thermodynamics can give rise to the Maxwell model for the viscoelastic fluid flow.

In the present work, the heat flux and high order fluxes as well as their time derivatives are taken as independent variables and a new type of extended irreversible thermodynamics is developed. In the framework of this extended irreversible thermodynamics, the size dependence of the effective conductivity is investigated and a generalized single phase lagging heat conduction model including the size effect is established. Theoretically, it covers the diffusive to ballistic regime of heat conduction. The comparison with the experimental and theoretical results of silicon nanowires and thin films shows a good agreement in nano-scale regime.

In the present work, the nonequilibrium entropy production under the effect of the dual-phase-lag heat conduction model is investigated. It is shown that the entropy production cannot be described using the classical form of the equilibrium entropy production where using this form leads to a violation for the thermodynamics second law. The effect of the phase-lags in temperature and in heat flux on the nonequilibrium entropy production is investigated. Also, the difference between the equilibrium and the nonequilibrium temperatures under the effect of the dual-phase-lag heat conduction model is studied. [S0022-1481(00)01502-4]

This study introduces an analysis of high-order dual-phase-lag (DPL) heat transfer equation and its thermodynamic consistency. The frameworks of extended irreversible thermodynamics (EIT) and traditional second law are employed to investigate the compatibility of DPL model by evaluating the entropy production rates (EPR). Applying an analytical approach showed that both the first- and second-order approximations of the DPL model are compatible with the traditional second law of thermodynamics under certain circumstances. If the heat flux is the cause of temperature gradient in the medium (over diffused or flux precedence (FP) heat flow), the DPL model is compatible with the traditional second law without any constraints. Otherwise, when the temperature gradient is the cause of heat flux (gradient precedence (GP) heat flow), the conditions of stable solution of the DPL heat transfer equation should be considered to obtain compatible solution with the local equilibrium thermodynamics. Finally, an insight inspection has been presented to declare precisely the influence of high-order terms on the EPRs.

Quantum entanglement can cause the efficiency of a heat engine to be greater than the efficiency of the Carnot cycle. However, this does not mean a violation of the second law of thermodynamics, since there is no local equilibrium for pure quantum states, and, in the absence of local equilibrium, thermodynamics cannot be formulated correctly. Von Neumann entropy is not a thermodynamic quantity, although it can characterize the ordering of a system. In the case of the entanglement of the particles of the system with the environment, the concept of an isolated system should be refined. In any case, quantum correlations cannot lead to a violation of the second law of thermodynamics in any of its formulations. This article is devoted to a technical discussion of the expected results on the role of quantum entanglement in thermodynamics.

AbstractIn this paper the heat conduction in viscous fluids is described by using the theory of classical irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables. In this theory, the deviation from the local equilibrium is characterized by vectorial internal variables and a generalized entropy current density expressed in terms of so-called current multipliers. Cross effects between heat conduction and viscosity are also considered and some phenomenological generalizations of Fourier’s and Newton’s laws are obtained.
