Thermal Efficiency Index (η_T)

THERMO-NET introduces the first physics-informed AI framework for quantitative characterization and suppression of irreversible entropy production in high-entropy physical systems — the Thermal Efficiency Index (η_T). Built on three mathematically rigorous constructs spanning Neural Heat Transport Operator, Local Entropy Production Minimizer, and Thermo-Informational Coupling Tensor.

The Three THERMO-NET Constructs

NHTO
Neural Heat Transport Operator · Adaptive Thermal Conductivity
τ_θ(r,t)·∂q/∂t + q(r,t) = -κ(r,t,θ)·∇T(r,t) + F_AI(r,T,∇T,θ) — Non-Fourier heat transport with SIREN-4L/6L architecture
LEPM
Local Entropy Production Minimizer · Second Law Constraint
σ(r,t) = q·∇(1/T) + Σᵢ Jᵢ·∇(-μᵢ/T) + Π_visc/T + σ_Landauer(r,t) — Model-predictive dissipation control with 200 μs horizon
TICT
Thermo-Informational Coupling Tensor · Landauer Erasure
Φ_ij(r,t) = k_B·T·(∂S_info/∂ϕ_i)·(∂σ_Landauer/∂ϕ_j) + Σ_ext_ij(r,t) — Hermitian PSD matrix bridging info and thermal entropy

Thermal Efficiency Index (η_T) Formula

η_T = η_Carnot - σ_integrated / η_Carnot ∈ [0, 1]
η_Carnot = 1 - T_cold / T_hot
σ_integrated: ∫ σ(r,t) dr dt (total entropy production)
Hard constraint: σ ≥ 0 (Second Law of Thermodynamics)

Python Interface

from thermo_net import ThermalStateTracker
from thermo_net.environments import CMOSNodeEnvironment

tracker = ThermalStateTracker(
    spatial_dim=128,
    lstm_hidden=256,
    material='Si'
)

env = CMOSNodeEnvironment(
    process_node_nm=1.8,
    temperature_k=300.0
)

result = tracker.predict(environment=env)

print(f"η_T = {result.eta:.4f} [{result.status}]")

Physics-Informed Neural Network + Neural ODE

# PINN penalty layer constraints (from paper)
# • Second Law compliance: σ(r,t) ≥ 0 everywhere
# • Energy conservation: integrated power input equals heat output
# • Landauer limit: k_B·T·ln(2) minimum per bit erasure

# Python implementation
from thermo_net import THERMOPredictor
predictor = THERMOPredictor()
result = predictor.predict(temperature_field, power_map)
