The effect of pulse shape on the entropy production inside the substrate material is significant. laser ablation copper entropy nonequilibrium thermodynamics heat transfer Since the energy which...

... of these methods, a complete set of reactions must be specified and the total number of equations (differential plus algebraic) remains the same. The development of models to describe the time evolution of complex reacting systems is one of the main objectives of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The equations...
