Synthesis of Thermodynamics and Continuum Mechanics

Global Journal of Science Frontier Research July 30, 2022

On the basis of a unified theory of the processes of transfer and transformation of any form of energy, called "energy dynamics" by the author, the possibility of synthesizing the methods of non equilibrium thermodynamics and continuum mechanics is shown. A unified substantiation of the main provisions of both the theory of irreversible processes and classical mechanics, free from postulates and hypotheses, is given. At the same time, a new method for studying real processes is proposed, which does not exclude from consideration any (reversible or irreversible) part of them. This made it possible to generalize all three Newton's principles, to find a short-range form of his law of gravity, and for the first time to substantiate the principle of least action, which mutually enriches both thermodynamics and mechanics.

New Applications of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Global Journal of Science Frontier Research March 25, 2023

We propose to extend the existing theory of irreversible processes (TIP) to include reversible real processes associated with the performance of useful work. This is achieved by the fact that the main quantities used by this theory, thermodynamic forces and fluxes, are derived not from the principle of increasing entropy, but rather from the law of the conservation of energy. This way of constructing TIP prevents the occurrence of thermodynamic inequalities and allows one to substantiate all its provisions without invoking the postulates and considerations of a molecular-kinetic and statistical-mechanical nature. This opens up the possibility of further reducing the number of empirical coefficients and expanding the scope of TIP applicability to nonlinear systems and states that are far from equilibrium, as well as to energy conversion processes which are primarily of interest to power engineers, technologists, biophysicists and astro-physicists. At the same time, the unity of the laws of transformation of all forms of energy and the difference between their equations, reciprocity relations and efficiency criteria from the generally accepted ones are proved. On this basis, a theory of similarity of power plants is proposed and their universal load characteristics are constructed, which make it possible to take the next step towards bringing the results of the thermodynamic analysis of their efficiency closer to reality.

Energodynamic Field Theory

Global Journal of Science Frontier Research August 5, 2021

The article proposes a theory of a unified force field, based on the recognition of the inevitability of oscillations in the inhomogeneous density field of the "primary" form of matter ("prematter"), which was previously called ether. It is shown that the energy of these oscillations is equal to the product of the mass involved in this motion by the square of the speed of light, and the inhomogeneity of its distribution generates an all-pervading gravitational field proportional to the density gradient of the pre-matter. The corresponding short-range (field) form of the law of gravity is found, which reveals that gravity belongs to the most "strong" interactions and predicts the appearance of both attraction and repulsion forces in continuous media. Taking into account the pre-matter as an indispensable component of any material system in the law of conservation of energy allows us to consider the processes of its transformation into ordinary matter as a spontaneous phase transition in an isolated system such as the Universe as a whole. The most detailed form of the energy conservation law obtained on this basis predicts the existence of new types of interactions and new reciprocity relations between the intensities and impulses of various force fields. It follows from them that any force fields are a special case of the gravitational field and are generated by the uneven distribution of their energy carriers in space. This makes it possible to obtain a universal law of interaction, the strength of which is determined by the density gradient of the corresponding form of energy. This makes the pre-substance the true "fuel" of the Universe, and the gravitational field - the primary source of energy for all processes of the synthesis of matter in it. The similarity of the processes of transformation of various forms of energy is revealed and numerous examples are given that confirm the interconnection of fields and the possibility of creating new types of power plants based on field forms of energy.

On the Dialectic Unity of Evolution and Involution

Global Journal of Science Frontier Research August 22, 2020

In the article, based on the principle of counterdirectionality of nonequilibrium processes and the law of conservation of energy, it is shown that evolutionary processes in some parts (areas, phases, components) of an isolated system are impossible without the involution of others. The simultaneity and opposite direction of these processes are proved, confirming their dialectical unity and the creative tendency inherent in nature. The inapplicability of entropy as a criterion for evolution is emphasized, and its non-entropy criteria are proposed both for systems as a whole and for each degree of their freedom. Examples of "coupled" processes of evolution and involution in objects of animate and inanimate nature are given. The erroneousness of the concept of the origin of "order" from "chaos" and the inapplicability of the concept of "arrow of time" to the Universe as a whole is substantiated.
