Abstract

Part 1 Entropy in thermodynamics: temperature and heat - some historical developments temperature and heat - a different approach the first law of thermodynamics the second law of thermodynamics entropy - how it is measured and how it is used entropy in irreversible changes. Part 2 The statistical interpretation of entropy: the statistical approach - a specific example general ideas and development the definition of a microstate temperature and entropy in statistical mechanics applications to solids applications to gases - 1 - the classical approximation, 2 - Bose Einstein and Fermi-Dirac gases fluctuation and Maxwell's demon. Part 3 Entropy at low temperatures: the third law of thermodynamics low temperatures the third law of thermodynamics and the unattainability of absolute zero.
