L'un des paramètres les plus importants dans la conception d'une station de ravitaillement en gaz naturel comprimé est la modélisation détaillée du processus de remplissage rapide. Dans ce travail, un nouveau modèle mathématique a été développé pour analyser le processus de remplissage rapide dans les stations de ravitaillement en gaz naturel comprimé. Ce nouveau modèle est unique car les tuyaux de raccordement entre les réservoirs et les bouteilles embarquées ont également été pris en compte. Pour modéliser le processus, l'équation d'état, les équations de continuité, de quantité de mouvement et d'énergie ont été résolues pour les différentes parties du système. Les résultats ont été validés par rapport aux données expérimentales afin d'étudier les effets des tuyaux de raccordement. Les valeurs numériques du débit massique sont en accord avec les valeurs expérimentales. L'étude a été réalisée pour les systèmes de stockage en cascade et les systèmes de stockage tampon. Les variations de la pression et du nombre de Mach à différents endroits du système, les effets de la température initiale du réservoir sur la pression et la température dans les cylindres des véhicules au gaz naturel sont présentés. Les résultats montrent que la perte de pression à travers les tuyaux est très importante et doit être prise en compte.

This book addresses research challenges in the rapidly developing area of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and fluctuation kinetics. This cross-disciplinary field comprises various topics, ranging from fundamental problems of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and thermodynamics to multiple applications in plasma, fluid mechanics, nonlinear science, systems of dissipative particles, and high-Q resonators. The purpose of this book is to bring together world-leading experts in the above fields to initiate a cross-fertilization among these active research areas. The book is dedicated to and honours the memory of Professor Slava Belyi who passed away unexpectedly on May 20, 2020. He was pioneering the theory of nonequilibrium fluctuations, in particular the application of the Callen-Welton fluctuation-dissipation theorem to nonequilibrium systems and its generalization. This and related problems also feature in the book.

The thesis presents a systematic study of the Mpemba effect in a colloidal system with a micron-sized particle diffusing in a water bath. While the Mpemba effect, where a system's thermal relaxation time is a non-monotonic function of the initial temperature, has been observed in water since Aristotle's era, the underlying mechanism of the effect is still unknown. Recent studies indicate that the effect is not limited to water and has been studied both experimentally and numerically in a wide variety of systems. By carefully designing a double-well potential using feedback-based optical tweezers, the author demonstrates that an initially hot system can sometimes cool faster than an initially warm system. The author also presents the first observation in any system of another counterintuitive effect-the inverse Mpemba effect-where the colder of the two samples reaches the thermal equilibrium at a hot temperature first. The results for both the observations agree with theoretical predictions based on the Fokker-Planck equation. The experiments reveal that, for carefully chosen conditions, a strong version of both of the effects are observed where a system can relax to the bath temperature exponentially faster than under typical conditions.

Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that studies the relationship between heat, work, temperature and energy, entropy, radiation and the physical properties of matter. It majorly focuses on the transfer of energy from one form to another and from one place to another. Thermodynamics is principally based on a set of four laws that govern the behavior of physical quantities such as heat, work, temperature and energy. The two properties of thermodynamics include enthalpy and entropy, which may be extensive or intensive. Enthalpy is defined as measurement of energy in a thermodynamic system. Entropy is a thermodynamic function that measures the randomness or disorder. These properties are capable of specifying the state of the system.
