A No-Go Theorem of Analytical Mechanics for the Second Law Violation
P. D. Gujrati
We follow the Boltzmann-Clausius-Maxwell (BCM) proposal to solve a long-standing problem of identifying the underlying cause of the second law (SL) of spontaneous irreversibility,…
Overlooked Work and Heat of Intervention and the Fate of Information Principles of Szilard and Landauer
P. D. Gujrati
We show that any external intervention (insertion or removal of a partition) that destroys the equilibrium or brings it in a system always requires work and heat to ensure that the…
Maxwell's Conjecture of the Demon creating a Temperature Difference is False
P. D. Gujrati
We argue that Maxwell's demon is incapable of creating a nonzero temperature difference. Hence, it does not destroy equilibrium and the second law is never at risk, contrary to the…
Maxwell's Demon must remain sebservient to Clausius's statement
P. D. Gujrati
Using classical thermodynamics, we argue that Maxwell's demon loses its battle against Clausius as any temperature difference or other thermodynamic forces it creates is immediatel…
A Review of the System-Intrinsic Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics in Extended Space (MNEQT) with Applications
P. D. Gujrati
The review deals with a novel approach (MNEQT) to nonequilibrium thermodynamics (NEQT) that is based on the concept of internal equilibrium (IEQ) in an enlarged state space involvi…
A Novel Trick to Overcome the Phase Space Volume Change and the Use of Hamiltonian Trajectories with an emphasis on the Free Expansion
P. D. Gujrati
We extend and successfully apply a recently proposed microstate nonequilibrium thermodynamics to study expansion/contraction processes. Here, the numbers of initial and final micro…
