Thermodynamics and Relativity
1. Introduction. We have met to do honor to the memory of Josiah Willard Gibbs. By the labors of this master, the classical principles of thermodynamics were given their most complete and comprehensive expression. As the subject for the tenth memorial lecture, it seems appropriate to discuss the extensions to these classical principles which have since been made necessary by Einstein's discover...
متن کاملEffective Action and Thermodynamics of Radiating Shells in General Relativity
An effective action is obtained for the area and mass aspect of a thin shell of radiating selfgravitating matter. On following a mini-superspace approach, the geometry of the embedding space-time is not dynamical but fixed to be either Minkowski or Schwarzschild inside the shell and Vaidya in the external space filled with radiation. The Euler-Lagrange equations of motion are discussed and show...
متن کاملThermodynamics Meets Special Relativity – or What Is Real in Physics?
In this paper we carefully reexamine the various framworks existing in the field of relativistic thermodynamics. We scrutinize in particular the different conceptual foundations of notions like the relativistic work, heat force, moving heat and relativistic temperature. As to the latter notion we argue that, as in ordinary thermodynamics, relativistic absolute temperature should be introduced o...

متن کاملThermodynamics and Relativity: A basic question about the behavior of living matter
Experimental observations made upon a thermodynamic system containing a mixture of living matter and inert matter were published in the recent years. They seem incompatible with the usual conception of thermodynamics, but compatible with an extended conception which links thermodynamics and relativity. Nevertheless, they ask an interesting question about the behavior of living matter.
