Fundamental Entropy

#Physics

$\displaystyle \sigma(U,V,N)\Rightarrow \mathrm{d}\sigma=\frac{ \partial \sigma }{ \partial U }\mathrm{d}U+\frac{ \partial \sigma }{ \partial V }\mathrm{d}V+\frac{ \partial \sigma }{ \partial N }\mathrm{d}N=\frac{1}{\tau}\mathrm{d}U+\frac{P}{\tau}\mathrm{d}V-\frac{\mu}{\tau}\mathrm{d}N$

  • The terms are thermal, mechanical, and diffusive

$\displaystyle \mathrm{d}\sigma=\frac{1}{\tau}\mathrm{d}U+\frac{P}{\tau}\mathrm{d}V-\sum \mu \mathrm{d}N$

  • As a result of taking the above derivative and using definitions of [fundamental temperature] and [pressure]

Topics

$\displaystyle \sigma=\frac{S}{k_{B}}=\ln \Omega$

  • Has no units
  • $\displaystyle k_{B}$ is the [Boltzmann constant]

$\displaystyle \sigma=-\left( \frac{ \partial F }{ \partial \tau } \right)_{V}=\frac{ \partial }{ \partial \tau }(\tau \ln Z)$

  • $\displaystyle F$ is the [Helmholtz Free Energy]

$\sigma=\frac{U}{\tau}+\ln Z$

  • $\displaystyle Z$ is the [partition function]
