What is "thermodynamic"

Usage examples of "thermodynamic".

Morowitz has presented the case, in thermodynamic terms, for the hypothesis that a steady flow of energy from the inexhaustible source of the sun to the unfillable sink of outer space, by way of the earth, is mathematically destined to cause the organization of matter into an increasingly ordered state.

Academic standards were high, and studies covered mechanical, electrical, electronic, thermodynamic, structural, and aeronautical engineering, along with supporting mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Its change of course must be executed by means of equivalences and locational surrogates, not by applications of actual thermodynamic thrust along some particular spatial vector.

The second surprise was that the hydrogen sulphide appeared not to be in thermodynamic equilibrium with the rest Of the atmosphere.

Maybe our Negentropic Man has something to do with thermodynamic entropy, maybe not.

Thermodynamic entropy, statistical mechanics entropy, information theory entropy, kernel horizon entropy-which one is Wolfman’.

Aybee listed four ways of thinking about entropy: thermodynamic entropy, statistical mechanics entropy, information theory entropy, and kernel entropy.

But flybys past and orbiters around Mars have found no excess of molecular oxygen, no substances--whatever their nature--enigmatically and profoundly departing from thermodynamic equilibrium, no unexpected surface pigments and no modulated radio emissions.

In a matter of milliseconds, thermodynamic equilibrium is reached, but at a temperature of several million degrees.

It begins with the creation of the universe at X and ends with thermodynamic equilibrium at Y, all right?

Since there is a coupling between motion of matter in spacetime and other forces within matter, particularly within atomic nuclei - the principle upon which the force disorder pumps operate - then this new state of matter may be stable, and may require substantial energy input to return to a thermodynamic state.

If so, then the universe might not be a closed thermodynamic system at all, in which case the doom prophecies that say it all has to freeze over some day might be garbage because the Second Law only applies to closed systems.

Entropy presupposes a spreading out, so that the total energy of a thermodynamic system is so evenly distributed that there is no energy available for work.

Also, it follows from the thermodynamic limit that there's an upper bound on how much data you can store with a given amount of energy&mdash.

Also, it follows from the thermodynamic limit that there's an upper bound on how much data you can store with a given amount of energy - or, equivalently, mass.
