From these postulates, one can then define between states the relation of thermal equilibrium.doi:10.1016/0022-247X(66)90178-8John S LewElsevier Inc.Journal of Mathematical Analysis & Applications

from renewable sources of energy, as they are naturally replenished on a human timescale like solar energy, hydro energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, and wind energy. Renewable energy is also referred to as clean energy because of its low carbon emission quality. Energy ...

This Note is devoted to the discretization and numerical simulation of a new quantum drift-diffusion model that was recently derived. We define an implicit numerical scheme which is equivalent to a convex minimization problem and which preserves the physical properties of the continuous model: charge...
ordinate charts while it has one equilibrium temperature in another global coordinate chart. This is reminiscent of flat spacetime which exhibits different thermal charac- teristics in different coordinate chart. The implications of this result are discussed in the last section. II. GENERAL EX...
This paper summarizes our analysis of beta test results collected at four U.S. engineering schools using the Thermal and Transport Concept Inventory (TTCI) currently under development. The instrument consists of questions in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics and is designed to elicit...
Based on the energy equilibrium theory of fluvial geomorphologists, we hypothesize that the structural and functional characteristics of stream communities are adapted to conform to the most probable position or mean state of the physical system. We reason that producer and consumer communities ...
After years of development, the polymer processing task has changed from traditional processing, which mainly addresses the specific shapes of articles and focuses on the effect of processing on the structures and properties of polymers, to modern processing, which directly transforms a “designed ...
