چکیده

Boltzmann's principle S(E, N, V) = k ln W (E, N, V) relates the entropy to the geometric area e S(E,N,V) of the manifold of constant energy in the N-body phase space. From the principle all thermo-dynamics and especially all phenomena of phase transitions and critical phenomena can be deduced. The topology of the curvature matrix C(E, N) (Hessian) of S(E, N) determines regions of pure phases, regions of phase separation, and (multi-)critical points and lines. Thus, C(E, N) describes all kind of phase-transitions with all their flavor. No assumptions of extensivity, concavity of S(E), additivity have to be invoked. Thus Boltzmanns principle and not Tsallis statistics describes the equilibrium properties as well the approach to equilibrium of extensive and non-extensive Hamiltonian systems. No thermodynamic limit must be invoked

3 Comment on “ Nonextensive hamiltonian systems follow Boltzmann ’ s principle not Tsallis statistics - phase transition , second law of thermodynamics ” by Gross

Recently, Gross claims that Boltzmann entropy S = k lnW is valid for any system at equilibrium, so that Tsallis entropy is useless in this case. I comment on some arguments forwarded to reach this conclusion and argue that the additive energy formalism of nonextensive statistics is not appropriate for the fundamental study of the theory for nonadditive systems. PACS : 02.50.-r, 05.20.-y, 05.30....

A New Thermodynamics from Nuclei to Stars

Equilibrium statistics of Hamiltonian systems is correctly described by the microcanonical ensemble. Classically this is the manifold of all points in the N−body phase space with the given total energy. Due to Boltzmann’s principle, e = tr(δ(E − H)), its geometrical size is related to the entropy S(E,N, · · ·). This definition does not invoke any information theory, no thermodynamic limit, no e...

Maximizing entropy change for nonequilibrium systems

We propose maximizing the change of thermodynamic entropy in order to obtain the probability distributions for nonequilibrium systems in steady or stationary evolution. Arguments are forwarded to support this approach. A path information leading to Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is defined for an ensemble of possible trajectories between two points in phase space. It is shown that the maximization of...
