Multilevel statistical entropy analysis (SEA) is a method that has been recently proposed to evaluate circular economy strategies on the material, component and product levels identify critical stages of resource functionality losses. However, comparison technological alternatives may be difficult, equal entropies do not necessarily correspond with recyclability. A coupling energy consumption a...

The paper deals with the generalization of both Boltzmann entropy and distribution in the light of most-probable interpretation of statistical equilibrium. The statistical analysis of the generalized entropy and distribution leads to some new interesting results of significant physical importance.
