• Entropy (arrow of time) — Entropy is the only quantity in the physical sciences that picks a particular direction for time, sometimes called an arrow of time. As one goes forward in time, the second law of thermodynamics says that the entropy of an isolated system can… …   Wikipedia

• Entropy — This article is about entropy in thermodynamics. For entropy in information theory, see Entropy (information theory). For a comparison of entropy in information theory with entropy in thermodynamics, see Entropy in thermodynamics and information… …   Wikipedia

• Entropy in thermodynamics and information theory — There are close parallels between the mathematical expressions for the thermodynamic entropy, usually denoted by S , of a physical system in the statistical thermodynamics established by Ludwig Boltzmann and J. Willard Gibbs in the 1870s; and the …   Wikipedia

• Entropy and life — Much writing has been devoted to Entropy and life. Research concerning the relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy and the evolution of life began in around the turn of the 20th century. In 1910, American historian Henry Adams… …   Wikipedia

• Entropy of mixing — The entropy of mixing is the change in the configuration entropy, an extensive thermodynamic quantity, when two different chemical substances or components are mixed. This entropy change must be positive since there is more uncertainty about the… …   Wikipedia

• Principle of maximum work — In the history of science, the principle of maximum work was a postulate concerning the relationship between chemical reactions, heat evolution, and the potential work produced there from. The principle was developed in approximate form in 1875… …   Wikipedia

• Entropy (classical thermodynamics) — In thermodynamics, entropy is a measure of how close a thermodynamic system is to equilibrium. A thermodynamic system is any physical object or region of space that can be described by its thermodynamic quantities such as temperature, pressure,… …   Wikipedia

• Principle of minimum energy — The principle of minimum energy is essentially a restatement of the second law of thermodynamics. It states that for a closed system, with constant external parameters and entropy, the internal energy will decrease and approach a minimum value at …   Wikipedia

• Entropy (statistical thermodynamics) — In thermodynamics, statistical entropy is the modeling of the energetic function entropy using probability theory. The statistical entropy perspective was introduced in 1870 with the work of the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. Mathematical… …   Wikipedia
