On Equivalence of Nonequilibrium Thermodynamic and Statistical Entropies

On Equivalence of Nonequilibrium Thermodynamic and Statistical Entropies

We review the concept of nonequilibrium thermodynamic entropy and observables and internal variables as state variables, introduced recently by us, and provide a simple first principle derivation of additive statistical entropy, applicable to all nonequilibrium states by treating thermodynamics as a...
