The meaning of the Second Law:Nonlocal effects in continuum physicsPeter VánBUTE, Department of Chemical Physics • Irreversibility concepts in thermodynamics • Stability and the Second Law • How to construct constitutive functions? • Example: • Ginzburg-Landau equation
Concepts and theories • What kind of thermodynamics?
Irreversibility (?) • time dependence • time reversal • variational principles • S exists • S is increasing • local equilibrium • Can be interpreted in a thermodynamic theory (?) (?) Second Law
Dynamic law: 1 Statics (equilibrium properties) 2 Dynamics Thermodynamic theory
1 + 2 + closed system S is a Ljapunov functionof the equilibrium of the dynamic law Irreversibility trend to equilibrium
Classical Irreversible Thermodynamics Local equilibrium (= there is no microstructure) • Violations (nonlocality): • in time (memory effects) • in space (structure effects) dynamic variables ?
Stability structure Dynamicstructure Example 1 for all solutions of the dynamic law relaxational dynamics
Example 2(Ginzburg-Landau) state space constitutive functions Liu procedure (Farkas’s lemma)
Conclusions • Second Law is a stability criteria • (Irreversibility is a kind of stability) • Second Law is a tool to construct dynamic laws • Predictive • Economics (?)
