  2. Introduction to entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_entropy

    However, today the classical equation of entropy, = can be explained, part by part, in modern terms describing how molecules are responsible for what is happening: Δ S {\displaystyle \Delta S} is the change in entropy of a system (some physical substance of interest) after some motional energy ("heat") has been transferred to it by fast-moving ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)

    In the view of Jaynes (1957), [19] thermodynamic entropy, as explained by statistical mechanics, should be seen as an application of Shannon's information theory: the thermodynamic entropy is interpreted as being proportional to the amount of further Shannon information needed to define the detailed microscopic state of the system, that remains ...

    In more detail, Clausius explained his choice of "entropy" as a name as follows: [10] I prefer going to the ancient languages for the names of important scientific quantities, so that they may mean the same thing in all living tongues. I propose, therefore, to call S the entropy of a body, after the Greek

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_and_life

    Research concerning the relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy and both the origin and evolution of life began around the turn of the 20th century. In 1910 American historian Henry Adams printed and distributed to university libraries and history professors the small volume A Letter to American Teachers of History proposing a theory of history based on the second law of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(statistical...

    The von Neumann entropy formula is an extension of the Gibbs entropy formula to the quantum mechanical case. It has been shown [ 1 ] that the Gibbs Entropy is equal to the classical "heat engine" entropy characterized by d S = δ Q T {\displaystyle dS={\frac {\delta Q}{T}}\!} , and the generalized Boltzmann distribution is a sufficient and ...

  9. Boltzmann's entropy formula - Wikipedia

    where is the Boltzmann constant (also written as simply ) and equal to 1.380649 × 10 −23 J/K, and is the natural logarithm function (or log base e, as in the image above). In short, the Boltzmann formula shows the relationship between entropy and the number of ways the atoms or molecules of a certain kind of thermodynamic system can be arranged.
