Non-Equilibrium Entropy Pathways in Complex Fluids: A New Framework for Thermodynamic Irreversibility
Abstract: When a system is driven, sheared, stretched, heated, or pressurized under varying thermodynamic gradients and kept away from equilibrium, ultra-microscopic rearrangements begin to occur, indicating continuous energy dissipation. Along these energy pathways, the microstructures of complex fluids undergo multiple stages of reforming and rearrangement. In complex fluids composed of identical compounds (chemically identical species), these interactions play a supportive role and reduce the overall entropy of the system. However, when …
