Taking Thermodynamics Too Seriously |
|
| Authors: | Craig Callender |
| Abstract: | This paper discusses the mistake of understanding the laws and concepts of thermodynamics too literally in the foundations of statistical mechanics. Arguing that this error is still made in subtle ways, the article explores its occurrence in three examples: the Second Law, the concept of equilibrium and the definition of phase transitions. |
