在热力学的基础上

On the foundations of thermodynamics

Arnold Neumaier

摘要:

本文在新的简明基础上,建立了热力学四热力学定律、麦克斯韦关系和响应函数的稳定性要求,其形式适用于全局(均相)、局部(流体动力学)和微局部(动力学)平衡。目前,独立的处理需要很少的正式机器,并保持非常接近的公式,因为他们是由执业物理学家,化学家,或工程师。从几个基本的假设,完整的结构的唯象热力学和经典和量子统计力学恢复。注意保持基础不受主观因素的影响(传统上是通过信息或概率渗透进来的)。人们可能会把这篇论文描述为对经典和量子统计力学的非动力学部分的统一处理,“没有量子力学”(即,适合于单个对象的明确描述)和“没有机械”(即,独立于微观假设)。如果通过传统的例子和应用加以丰富,本文可以作为热物理课程的基础。

英文摘要:

On the basis of new, concise foundations, this paper establishes the four laws of thermodynamics, the Maxwell relations, and the stability requirements for response functions, in a form applicable to global (homogeneous), local (hydrodynamic) and microlocal (kinetic) equilibrium. The present, self-contained treatment needs very little formal machinery and stays very close to the formulas as they are applied by the practicing physicist, chemist, or engineer. From a few basic assumptions, the full structure of phenomenological thermodynamics and of classical and quantum statistical mechanics is recovered. Care has been taken to keep the foundations free of subjective aspects (which traditionally creep in through information or probability). One might describe the paper as a uniform treatment of the nondynamical part of classical and quantum statistical mechanics ``without statistics'' (i.e., suitable for the definite descriptions of single objects) and ``without mechanics'' (i.e., independent of microscopic assumptions). When enriched by the traditional examples and applications, this paper may serve as the basis for a course on thermal physics.
