Comment on "The generalized Boltzmann distribution is the only distribution in which the Gibbs-Shannon entropy equals the thermodynamic entropy" by X. Gao, E. Gallicchio and A.E. Roitberg [J. Chem. Phys. 151, 034113 (2019)]
P. D. Gujrati
The title of the paper leads to an incorrect conclusion as we show that the equilibrium result of the paper is a special limit of a general result for nonequilibrium systems in int…
Comment on Ben-Amotz and Honig, "Average entropy dissipation in irreversible mesoscopic processes," Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 020602 (2006)
P. D. Gujrati
We point out that most of the classical thermodynamics results in the paper have been known in the literature, see Kestin and Woods, for quite some time and are not new, contrary t…
Some Rigorous Results Relating Nonequilibrium, Equilibrium, Calorimetrically Measured and Residual Entropies during Cooling
P. D. Gujrati
We use rigorous nonequilibrium thermodynamic arguments to establish that (i) the nonequilibrium entropy S(T_{0}) of any system is bounded below by the experimentally (calorimetrica…
Nonequilibrium Entropy
P. D. Gujrati
We consider an isolated system in an arbitrary state and provide a general formulation using first principles for an additive and non-negative statistical quantity that is shown to…
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics. Symmetric and Unique Formulation of the First Law, Statistical Definition of Heat and Work, Adiabatic Theorem and the Fate of the Clausius Inequality: A Microscopic View
P. D. Gujrati
The status of heat and work in nonequilibrium thermodynamics is quite confusing and non-unique at present with conflicting interpretations even after a long history of the first la…
Generalized Non-equilibrium Heat and Work and the Fate of the Clausius Inequality
P. D. Gujrati
By generalizing the traditional concept of heat dQ and work dW to also include their time-dependent irreversible components d_{i}Q and d_{i}W allows us to express them in terms of…
