In defence of negative temperature | | Julian Poulter
; | | Date: |
3 Aug 2015 | | Abstract: | This pedagogical comment highlights three misconceptions concerning the
usefulness of the concept of negative temperature; being derived from the
usual, often termed Boltzmann, definition of entropy. First, both the Boltzmann
and Gibbs entropies must obey the same thermodynamic consistency relation.
Second, the Boltzmann entropy does obey the second law of thermodynamics.
Third, there exists an integrating factor of the heat differential with both
definitions of entropy. | | Source: | arXiv, 1508.0350 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
