Abstract

Abstract Fifty years have passed since Nernst formulated his “New Heat Theorem,” which he subsequently referred to as the “Third Law of Thermodynamics.” The several statements of the theorem are examined in the light of classical thermodynamics, quantum considerations, and recent low-temperature experiments. The limitations under which the heat theorem may be considered a basic scientific law are cited.
