This paper presents a model of technology diffusion is consistent with characteristics of participants in most energy markets. Whereas the models used most widely for empirical research are based on the assumption that the extended delays in adoption of cost-saving innovations are the result of...

In this paper we deepen the study of a thermodynamical model, based on the extended irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables, for a semiconductor doped by impurities of n type, where we take into consideration the density of holes coming from the intrinsic base of the semiconductor...

Contrary to intuition, entropy production rates grow as reversible, wave-like behavior is approached. This paradox was discovered in time-fractional diffusion equations. It was found to persist for extended entropies and for space-fractional diffusion as well. This paper completes the...

The Onsager–Casimir reciprocal relations obtained for gaseous systems on the basis of the linearized Boltzmann equation in a general form [F. Sharipov, Onsager–Casimir reciprocal relations based on the Boltzmann equation and gas–surface interaction law. Single gas., Phys. Rev. E 73 (2006)...

We investigate the stationary nonequilibrium states of a quasi one-dimensional system of heavy particles whose interaction is mediated by purely elastic collisions with light particles, in contact at the boundary with two heat baths with fixed temperatures T+ and T-. It is shown that Fourier law...

Local expansion exponents for nonequilibrium dynamical systems, described by partial differential equations, are introduced. These exponents show whether the system phase volume expands, contracts, or is conserved in time. The ways of calculating the exponents are discussed. The principle of...

We study the time dependence of the one-dimensional weakly coupled spin-1 Ising system by means of the modified version of Glauber's one-dimensional spin relaxation model and the system of dynamic equations for the one- and two-points functions is derived. We solve the dynamic equations...

The second rank alignment tensor characterizing the preferential orientation of rod-like or disc-like molecules can easily be detected via the birefringence associated with it. The third rank tensor specifying a local short range order with tetrahedral symmetry, as expected for water, on the...

The entropy production rate for fractional diffusion processes using Shannon entropy was calculated previously, which showed an apparently counter intuitive increase with the transition from dissipative diffusion behaviour to reversible wave propagation. Rényi and Tsallis entropies, which have...
