Thermodynamic Perspective:In thermodynamics, an "external force" typically refers to influences like mechanical work or heat exchange that directly alter the system’s energy and entropy. Sunlight contributes to energy dynamics but is part of the broader environmental system rather than a direct external...
The phases of the discontinuous system may be conductors, semiconductors or insulators. This investigation is the generalization of earlier thermodynamic treatments of irreversible processes in electrochemical systems.doi:10.1016/0013-4686(89)87015-XR Haase...

Thus a thermodynamic equilibrium occurs when the system has the maximum entropy value. The entropy is defined by the Boltzmann formula, S = k log W. Some examples of entropy Both expressions of the entropy result simply from two different points of view, as we consider the system ...
We study the ground state in thermodynamic limit [infinite lattice]. Following Bennett, Bernstein, Popescu, and Schumacher, we use the entropy of a sub-system as a measure of entanglement. We calculate the entropy of a part of the ground state. At zero temperature it describes entanglement of...
Clausius described it as the portion of energy in a system that cannot be converted into work, reflecting the universe’s tendency toward greater disorder. This thermodynamic concept laid the groundwork for understanding randomness and irreversibility in physical systems. ...
Key points The original concept of equilibrium thermodynamic entropy has branched into two related but distinct concepts, both termed entropy: one a tool for inference and the other a measure of time irreversibility. The field of stochastic thermodynamics and the methods therein have developed the irr...
One decade later, the Austrian physicist and philosopher Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (1844–1906) made a crucial discovery, namely the connection of the thermodynamic entropy S with the microscopic world [3,4]. The celebrated formula 𝑆=𝑘ln𝑊, W being the total number of equally probable micro...
The thermodynamic property that measures the extent of molecular disorder is called entropy. Entropy change of phase transformation can be calculated using Trouton's formula(ΔS=ΔH/T). In the reversible adiabatic process, however,ΔSwill be zero. the rise in temperature in isobaric and isochoric...
