- Title
Fission and Fusion Nuclear Reactions Second Law Analyses Based on Exergy Method.
- Authors
Palazzo, P.
- Abstract
The present research aims at specializing the second law analysis to characterize balances of properties, and efficiencies of processes, occurring in nuclear reactions. The conceptual schema is underpinned by the paradigm of microscopic few-particle systems and the inter-particle kinetic energy and binding potential energy determined by interactions among atomic nuclei and subatomic particles in non-equilibrium states along irreversible phenomena. The definition here proposed for thermodynamic entropy calculation is based on energy and exergy both being measurable properties used to directly derive entropy variations determined by elemental fission and fusion nuclear reactions in operating industrial plants.
