Axiomatic Incompatibility Between Thermal Equilibrium and Volume-Dependent Entropy in Ideal Gas Theory

Andrea Paglietti

A rigorous macroscopic analysis of classical thermodynamics reveals an overlooked contradiction at the foundations of ideal gas theory: the traditional volume dependent formula for…

On the impossibility of isothermal heat transfer and its implications for thermal physics

A. Paglietti

The physical impossibility of heat transfer under isothermal conditions implies that the classical expression for the entropy of the ideal gas may not be compatible with the intern…

Conservation of angular momentum and the existence of absolute time and space

A. Paglietti

The law of balance of angular momentum is shown to imply the existence of absolute time, a fundamental physical quantity that is independent of the motion or position of the observ…

Angular momentum balance and vortex production in wall-bounded flows

A. Paglietti

To produce a vortex, a torque must be applied to the fluid. In viscous fluids, the torques that produce turbulent vortices result from the loss of symmetry of the stress tensor, on…

The laminar-to-turbulent transition in viscous fluid flow

A. Paglietti

The onset of turbulence in laminar flow of viscous fluids is shown to be a consequence of the limited capacity of the fluid to withstand shear stress. This fact is exploited to pre…

Interaction with thermal radiation in the free expansion and mixing of ideal gases and Gibbs' paradox in classical thermodynamics

A. Paglietti

The standard theory of ideal gases ignores the interaction of the gas particles with the thermal radiation (photon gas) that fills the otherwise vacuum space between them. This is…
