Maxwell's and Boltzmann's Triumphant Contributions to and Misconceived Interpretations of Thermodynamics

Abstract

The statistical interpretation is discussed and found to be inadequate to explain thermodynamic phenomena. Two alternative approaches to the statistical interpretation are summarized, one purely thermodynamic, and the other quantum-theoretic and thermodynamic.

Keywords

Finite time reversibility, Maxwell's demon, Microscopic systems, Nonstatistical entropy
