Prediction of Microstructural and Conformational Evolutions through Application of Steepest-Entropy-Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics
Steepest Entropy Ascent Quantum Thermodynamics (SEAQT) is a novel theoretical framework unifying quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. This framework employs an equation of motion governed by the principle of steepest entropy ascent to determine the thermodynamic state evolution of modeled systems. …

Application of the principle of minimization of entropy in the achievement of steady-state solutions for dynamic systems
… of steady-state systems using principles of thermodynamics in conjunction with Systems Dynamics simulation techniques. Evaluation of Forrester’s World Dynamics model shows it to degenerate in accordance with the dictates of the Second Law of Thormodync.mics. Two fundamental policy criteria …
