Maximum irreversible availability for continuous systems

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

In this paper we generalize the study of the irreversible availability, already widely developed for discrete systems, to field theory. We derive the general equations and solve analytically the stationary unidimensional case.

Riassunto

In questo articolo si generalizza lo studio del lavoro estraibile di Gibbs, che è già ampiamente sviluppato nel caso dei sistemi discreti, al formalismo della teoria continua di campo. Si formulano le equazioni differenziali in generale e si risolve analiticamente il caso del problema unidimensionale stazionario.

Резюме

В зтой работе мы обобщаем исследование необратимой доступности, развитое для дискретных систем, для формализма непрерывной теории поля. Мы выводим общие уравнения и решаем аналитически проблему в стационарном одномерном случае.
