The “Second Law” of Probability: Entropy Growth in the Central Limit
... Is it true that Ent(Sn) increases with n? Shannon-Stam shows that it increases as n goes from 1 to 2 (hence 2 to 4 and so on). Carlen and Soffer found uniform estimates for entropy jump from 1 to 2. It wasn’t known that entropy increases from 2 to 3. The difficulty is that you can't express the sum ...

ENERGY MANAGEMENT
... Energy consumption for the production of one tonne of steel is about 20 to 25 GJ/t of steel. Energy consumption has decreased due to the introduction of oxygen converters, continuous casting and economic pressure associated with the rise in global energy prices. In 1965, energy consumption was about ...

Heat transfer physics
Heat transfer physics describes the kinetics of energy storage, transport, and transformation by principal energy carriers: phonons (lattice vibration waves), electrons, fluid particles, and photons. Heat is energy stored in temperature-dependent motion of particles including electrons, atomic nuclei, individual atoms, and molecules. Heat is transferred to and from matter by the principal energy carriers. The state of energy stored within matter, or transported by the carriers, is described by a combination of classical and quantum statistical mechanics. The energy is also transformed (converted) among various carriers.The heat transfer processes (or kinetics) are governed by the rates at which various related physical phenomena occur, such as (for example) the rate of particle collisions in classical mechanics. These various states and kinetics determine the heat transfer, i.e., the net rate of energy storage or transport. Governing these process from the atomic level (atom or molecule length scale) to macroscale are the laws of thermodynamics, including conservation of energy.
