Entropy

‘Meyer-Neldel Rule’: True History of its Development and its Intimate Connection to Classical Thermodynamics

“…Well, aside from all this, Werner Kollath The 'what is entropy' debate around the deliberations by James Swinburne is described in detail in the book about Oliver Heaviside [89]. He was actually only peripherally involved into a 'nasty squabble [89] (on the concept of entropy) between James Swinburne and John Perry' -well, that 'squabble' really was in itself 'nasty' enough [90][91][92][93] but Oliver Heaviside, together with Oliver Lodge, although their deliberations were reasonable enough, had obtained a really hard (and, in effect, unfair !) response from Max Planck [89,93].…”

Colloid Dynamics.

“…In that system no "matter" in the ordinary sense would pass from the higher to the lower colloid potential. Some people may object to the introduction of several kinds of entropy, but Swinburne (25) ordinary thermodynamic entropy is made up of a number of different entropies. When a perfect gas expands in vacuum its entropy increases and it is only by a stretch of imagination that we conceive this as an increase in heat entropy.…”
