In diesem Beitrag stellen wir einen Weg vor, der es erlaubt, grundsätzliche Aussagen darüber zu treffen, dass wirtschaftliches Handeln schädliche Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt mit sich bringt. Diese Auswirkungen sind naturwissenschaftlich bedingt und treten insbesondere in der...

Living organisms are as much subject to entropy than inorganic matter is. Human culture and its products are no exception. We show how ethological and psychological phenomena like mimetism, economic phenomena like monopolies, and belief systems like monotheism, follow the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics

Anthropogenic production and operating activities give off heat and emit thermal infrared radiation (TIR) as a fundamental result of the laws of thermodynamics. This study examines whether the strength of TIR measures the dynamics of economic activities and development. Using satellite data on...

Experiments have been conducted to approximate the Nusselt number, friction factor, exergy efficiency, and thermal entropy generation of longitudinal strip inserted water diluted nanodiamond-Fe 3 O 4 nanofluids circulate in conduit. The ranges of experiments were, [[EQUATION]] ; [[EQUATION]] ;...

Hydrate-based CH 4 storage is a promising technology for safe and economic-viable natural gas storage and transportation as solid CH 4 -hydrate possess advantages in both energy density and storage stability. The quest for an effective and economic-friendly thermodynamic promoter for CH 4...

According to non-equilibrium thermodynamics in Li-ion batteries (LIBs), the complicated coupling relations exist among the electric flux, ion flux, heat flux and so on. In this paper, we propose a thermal-electrochemical-mechanical coupled model which could predict capacity loss, concentration...

Energy system deals with a quantitative assessment of operations, and exergy provides a qualitative evaluation of system processes. Hence, a productive thermodynamic evaluation is essentially required in the pertinent design and optimization of the developed system. The present study covers the...

In the present paper, a multi-target temperature ejector-expansion subcooler vapor-injection (MTES) refrigeration cycle is proposed in order to improve the performance of natural fluid CO2 refrigeration cycles. In this respect, a thermodynamics model to simulate a two-phase ejector cycle...

In this study, the AlFeNiTiZn high entropy alloy was successfully produced in powder form by the mechanical alloying process. Characterization of the ball-milled product by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy along with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and...

This research study proposes a technique for the multi-objective optimization (MOO) of the energy, exergy, and economy (3E) factors in the context of a combined heat and power plant (CHPP) system. The rapidly increasing demand for energy necessitates improvements in plant equipment performance...

Up until now, entrepreneurship study has not developed a unified theory with key concepts that can elucidate the holistically process-driven characteristics of entrepreneurial venturing. What spur entrepreneurs to action along the process- driven pathway? This paper intends to relate the...

What spur entrepreneurs to action along the process-driven pathway? This paper intends to relate the business...

Entrepreneurship researches started to have traction at the start of 1980 and underwent paradigmatic shift. However despite the varied veins of exploration from opportunities to innate traits, entrepreneurship literatures have yet developed a unifying conceptualization and theory with key...

Uranyl, a strong Lewis acid, forms stable complexes with relatively hard donors and it is commonly believed that uranyl complex with trialkylamine is stabler than trialkylphosphine. However, there are no thermodynamic parameters to evaluate the complexation stabilities of R 3 N-UO 2 2+ and R 3...

The present days can be considered a crossroad in the history of our world because the economic, social, and environmental needs do not agree one another. The result is the present socio-economic difficulties, from which it seems very difficult to escape. A new viewpoint must be introduced, but...

This article is the second one in a series of publications representing the natural science foundations of macroeconomics. Classical thermodynamics is the most important natural science justification for physical macroeconomics. The general properties of the global economy, as compared with the...

Chemical Thermodynamics is the unified theory of physical and chemical transitions. This work presents three theorems on which the whole subject can be grounded. The first of them reveals the existing connection between the Lagrange multipliers method of the non-stoichiometric formulation and...

HyTransfer developed and experimentally validated an innovative approach for optimised fast filling of compressed hydrogen, meeting the material temperature limits of the tanks taking into account the container and system's thermal behaviour. The new approach enables faster filling in...

Papers and monographs in ecological economics include references to Georgescu-Roegen's works on the thermodynamic nature of economic scarcity. Based on qualitative reasoning lacking precise definitions of thermodynamic systems and boundary conditions Georgescu-Roegen formulated several...

The common approach to integrating thermodynamics and economics is subsuming thermodynamic aspects among the set of constraints under which economic activity takes place. The causal link between energy and growth is investigated via aggregate econometric analysis. This paper discusses...

"Analyzing the self-sufficient Danish island of Samsø, this book explains sustainability through a biogeophysical understanding of how to best use Earth's limited resources to achieve true sustainability. The method used derives from the thermodynamic function of exergy. By analyzing exergy...

This is Volume 13b in the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) “Chemical Thermodynamics” series. It is the second part of a critical review of the thermodynamic properties of iron, its solid compounds and aqueous complexes, initiated as part of the NEA Thermochemical Database Project Phase IV...

Der Autor registriert, dass die Menge der verantwortungsbewusst denkenden Menschen in zunehmendem Maße fühlt, dass offenbar in der menschlichen Gesellschaft – weltweit wie auch in Deutschland – „vieles klemmt“, ohne schlüssige Änderungsvorschläge unterbreiten zu können, was...

The distribution of firms’ growth and firms’ sizes is a topic under intense scrutiny. In this paper, we show that a thermodynamic model based on the maximum entropy principle, with dynamical prior information, can be constructed that adequately describes the dynamics and distribution of...

The arrow-of-time phenomena are everywhere in the physical world, biological systems, and human society. Despite its great importance in physics, the second law of thermodynamics can only successfully explain small percentages of these arrow-of-time phenomena in the physical world, and generally...

This paper develops further a model of the economic process, first set out as part of a paper by the author published in 2007, concerning the application of thermodynamic laws to economics. The paper sets out relationships between economic output and capital, labour, resource and waste stocks,...

The firms and markets of today's complex socio-economic system developed in a spontaneous process termed evolution, in just the same way as the universe, the solar system, the Earth and all that lives upon it. Darwin's theory of evolution clearly demonstrated that evolution involved increasing...

Social and biological systems, as open dissipative systems, need to extract low entropy from the environment to compensate for continuous dissipation. This process can be represented by lognormal processes, with a deterministic representation of a thermodynamic equation. From here, we develop an...

"This book ranks all world countries according to their economic efficiency. Some of the rankings challenge existing conceptions. The second purpose is normative, furnishing specific insights into the determinants of economic efficiency. The emphasis is on this second objective. The analysis...

While DSGE models have been widely used by central banks for policy analysis, they seem to have been ineffective in calibrating the models for anticipating financial crises. To bring DSGE models closer to real situations, some of researchers have revised the traditional DSGE models. One of the...
