Special Issue "Applications of Statistical Thermodynamics"
 

Entropy (IF:2.305)

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Statistical thermodynamics span the bridge between the visible macroscopic world and the invisible atomistic world to evaluate values of atomistic interaction parameters with unambiguous physical significance from measured values of state parameters, such as temperature, pressure and chemical composition under equilibrium state. Unlike conventional thermodynamics, in which entropy, enthalpy, and free energy are defined mathematically in terms of state parameters and thus applicable universally to any system, even without knowing exactly the nature of compound under consideration, statistical thermodynamic analysis must be started from unambiguous a priori modeling of compounds under consideration. When an unrealistic model is chosen at the onset of the statistical thermodynamic approach, the evaluated parameters are without valid physical significance. This inherent nature of the statistical thermodynamic approach might make use of this unique analysis tool somewhat difficult for experimentalists to use casually. However, there also lies a merit of this unique analysis tool to a provide feedback channel to check the validity of the a priori model with reference to the compatibility of the evaluated atomistic interaction parameter values with the macroscopic state parameter values.

The Guest Editor wishes this Special Issue will attract the attention of authors who have been working on entropy and enthalpy aspects of materials science, as well as physicists and chemists using statistical thermodynamics as an analysis tool.

Fractional-order Modeling of Nuclear Reactor: From Subdiffusive Neutron Transport to Control-oriented Models

( Vishwesh VyawaharePaluri S. V. Nataraj)

Details: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-981-10-7587-2

Introduction

This book addresses the topic of fractional-order modeling of nuclear reactors. Approaching neutron transport in the reactor core as anomalous diffusion, specifically subdiffusion, it starts with the development of fractional-order neutron telegraph equations. Using a systematic approach, the book then examines the development and analysis of various fractional-order models representing nuclear reactor dynamics, ultimately leading to the fractional-order linear and nonlinear control-oriented models. The book utilizes the mathematical tool of fractional calculus, the calculus of derivatives and integrals with arbitrary non-integer orders (real or complex), which has recently been found to provide a more compact and realistic representation to the dynamics of diverse physical systems.

Including extensive simulation results and discussing important issues related to the fractional-order modeling of nuclear reactors, the book offers a valuable resource for students and researchers working in the areas of fractional-order modeling and control and nuclear reactor modeling.

Conformable derivative: Application to non-Darcian flow in low-permeability porous media

Yang Shuai; Wang Liping; Zhang Shuqin

Publication information: APPLIED MATHEMATICS LETTERS Volume: 79 Pages: 105-110 Published: MAY 2018

http://apps.webofknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=UA&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=2&SID=8FO6OoHpxwjWi3nCmmM&page=1&doc=16&cacheurlFromRightClick=no

 

Abstract

The conformable derivative is used to develop the Swartzendruber model for description of non-Darcian flow in porous media. The proposed conformable Swartzendruber models are solved employing the Laplace transform method and validated on the basis of water flow in compacted fine-grained soils. The results of fitting analysis present a good agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses are carried out to illustrate the effects of related parameters on the conformable Swartzendruber models.

Fractional viscoelastic models with non-singular kernels

Long Jianmin; Xiao Rui; Chen Wen

Publication information: MECHANICS OF MATERIALS Volume: 127 Pages: 55-64 Published: DEC 2018

http://apps.webofknowledge.com/full_record.do?product=UA&search_mode=GeneralSearch&qid=5&SID=8FO6OoHpxwjWi3nCmmM&page=1&doc=1&cacheurlFromRightClick=no

 

Abstract

New definitions of fractional derivative with non-singular kernels are proposed recently. In the present paper, we apply the classical and new definitions of fractional derivative to four fractional viscoelastic models, namely, fractional Maxwell model, fractional Kelvin-Voigt model, fractional Zener model and fractional Poynting-Thomson model. For each fractional viscoelastic model, the stress relaxation modulus, creep compliance and dynamic modulus are derived analytically under the classical and new fractional derivative definitions. The performance of these models under different fractional derivative definitions is further compared. The results show that the fractional Zener model and fractional Poynting-Thomson model are equivalent in all conditions. Compared with the classical fractional derivative definition with a power function kernel, the fractional derivative definition with a logarithmic function kernel can be used to describe the ultraslow creep and relaxation behaviors. However, the performance of fractional Maxwell model with the exponential function kernel is close to that of integer-order Maxwell model. Fractional Maxwell model and fractional Zener model with the Mittag-Leffler function kernel do not provide accurate descriptions of the stress relaxation modulus at shortest time and the storage modulus at highest frequency. Thus, specific modification is needed when applying the new definitions of fractional derivative to viscoelasticity.
