Entropy and its physical meaning (2nd ed' 96)

Author(s) : DUGDALE J. S.
Publication date : 09-1996
Language : ENGLISH
198p. 16x24 Hardback

Comment
This  book gives a readily understood picture of entropy. The book first treats entropy from a historical, classical viewpoint with emphasis on the mode of thinking of the scientist who developed the concept. A statistical treatment then follows to give a more physical picture of entropy, relating it to disorder and showing how at low temperatures physical and chemical systems tend to states of order. This entails a brief account of some of the intriguing manifestations of order in such properties as superconductivity and superfluidity.

Description
Entropy in thermodynamics. Temperature and heat : some historical developments , a different approach. The first law of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics. Entropy : how it is measured and how it is used. Entropy in irreversible changes. The statistical interpretation of entropy. The statistical approach : a specific example. General ideas and development : the definition of a microstate. Temperature and entropy in statistical mechanics. Application to solids. Application to gases : the classical approximation , Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac gases. Fluctuation and Maxwell's demon. Entropy at low temperatures. The third law of thermodynamics. Low temperatures. The third law of thermodynamics and the unattainability of absolute zero.

Subject areas covered:
Mathematics and physics / Thermodynamics
