Graduate Non-equilibrium thermodynamics
Do you mean to say that we'll have to replace the whole system with an engine? Does that mean replacing a complete tumor?- vjrajsingh

Graduate Non-equilibrium thermodynamics
Yes. I'm sorry if I may sound naive but it's only because my background is in biology. I only just started exploring physics. Cancer cells generally show a massive rise in entropy and are exergonic. And I know Carnot engines don't exist practically. I'm only asking if it's possible in theory to...- vjrajsingh

Graduate Non-equilibrium thermodynamics
Biological systems act as dissipative structures and obey the universal laws of thermodynamics in spite of being open structures as they follow non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In accordance with the second law, entropy generation occurs. Is it possible to limit the entropy generation in a...- vjrajsingh
