Thermodynamic self-organizationThis is a featured page

In thermodynamics, thermodynamic self-organization is a variant of self-organization, used prominently among Russian scientists, referring to assembly behaviors describable by thermodynamics in the near-equilibrium range. [1] The term is used such to distinguish two variants of energy dispersion: (a) operations related to near-equilibrium processes (thermodynamic self-organization) and (b) operations related to non-equilibrium processes (dynamic self-organizations), the latter generally being associated with Prigoginean thermodynamics. [2] In the view of Russian physical chemist Georgi Gladyshev’s hierarchical thermodynamics, thermodynamic self-organization is defined as the spontaneous ordered joining of the structures of the i-th hierarchy into structures of the (i+1)-th hierarchy. [3]
