After negative temperature is restated, we find that it will derive necessarily decrease of entropy. Negative temperature is based on the Kelvin scale and the condition dU>0 and dS 0. But, negative temperature is contradiction with usual meaning of temperature and with some basic concepts of physics and mathematics. It is a question in nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We proposed a possibility of decrease of entropy due to fluctuation magnified and internal interactions in some isolated systems…

Possible Decrease of Entropy due to Internal Interactions in Isolated Systems

If interactions and fluctuations exist among various subsystems of an isolated system, the entropy may not be an additive quantity. The second law of thermodynamics is based on statistical…

Entropy, Fluctuation Magnified and Internal Interactions

Since fluctuations can be magnified due to internal interactions under a certain condition, the equal-probability does not hold. The entropy would be defined as S(t)=-k Σr Pr(t) ln Pr(t). From this…

Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics at Negative Absolute Temperatures

A thermodynamic system that is in internal thermodynamic equilibrium, that is otherwise essentially isolated, and that has an energetic upper limit to its allowed states can possess a negative temperature.

General properties of entropy

This paper discusses properties of entropy, as well as related concepts such as relative entropy, skew entropy, dynamical entropy, etc, in detail with reference to their implications in statistical mechanics, to get a glimpse of systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom.

On the principle of minimal entropy production for Navier-Stokes-Fourier fluids

In this paper we discuss the principle of minimal entropy production, proposed by Prigogine [1], which affirms that the global entropy production approaches a minimum as a process becomes…

Entanglement entropy of fermions in any dimension and the Widom conjecture.

We show that entanglement entropy of free fermions scales faster than area law, as opposed to the scaling L(d-1) for the harmonic lattice, for example. We also suggest and provide evidence in support…

Possible generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics

With the use of a quantity normally scaled in multifractals, a generalized form is postulated for entropy, namelySq ≡k [1 – ∑i=1W piq]/(q-1), whereq∈ℝ characterizes the generalization andpi are the…
