چکیده
N.Athavan Department of Physics, H.H. The Rajah’s College, Pudukottai 622 001, Tamilnadu, India Abstract In this manuscript we present a brief life history of Ludwig Edward Boltzmann and his achivements. Particularly, we discuss his H-theorem, his work on entropy and statistical interpretation of second-law of thermodynamics. We point out his some other contributions in physics, characteristics of his work, his strong support on atomism, character of his personality and relationship with his students and final part of his life.

M ar 2 00 6 Ludwig Boltzmann , Transport Equation and the Second Law
Ludwig Boltzmann had a hunch that irreversibility exhibited by a macroscopic system arises from the reversible dynamics of its microscopic constituents. He derived a nonlinear integro-differential equation now called the Boltzmann equation for the phase space density of the molecules of a dilute fluid. He showed that the Second Law of thermodynamics emerges from Newton’s equations of motion. Ho...

A new class of A (1) n integrable lattice models is presented. These are interaction-round-a-face models based on fundamental nimrep graphs associated with the A (1) n conjugate modular invariants, there being a model for each value of the rank and level. The Boltzmann weights are parameterized by elliptic theta functions and satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation for any fixed value of the elliptic ...
