书目名称 | Lectures on the Mechanical Foundations of Thermodynamics | 编辑 | Michele Campisi | 视频video | | 概述 | Presents the forgotten mechanical approach of Boltzmann in a pedagogical, original, and organic manner.Avoids unnecessary mathematical abstraction and complications.Includes complements and exercises | 丛书名称 | SpringerBriefs in Physics | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | This brief provides a modern pedagogical exposition of the mechanical approach to statistical mechanics initiated by Boltzmann with his early works (1866-1871). Despite the later contribution by Helmholtz, Boltzmann himself (1884-1887), Gibbs, P. Hertz, and Einstein, the mechanical approach remained almost unknown to the modern reader, in favour of the celebrated combinatorial approach, developed by Boltzmann himself during his probabilistic turn (1876-1884). The brief constitutes an ideal continuation of a graduate course of classical mechanics and requires knowledge of basic calculus in many dimension (including differential forms), thermodynamics, probability theory, besides Hamiltonian mechanics. The cornerstone of the whole presentation is the ergodic hypothesis. Special attention is devoted to Massieu potentials (the Legendre transforms of the entropy) which are most natural in statistical mechanics, and also allow for a more direct treatment of the topic of ensemble equivalence.. | 出版日期 | Book 20211st edition | 关键词 | Finite bath fluctuatio theorem; Logarithmic oscillators; Nonanalytic microscopic phase transitions; Top | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-87163-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-87162-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-87163-5Series ISSN 2191-5423 Series E-ISSN 2191-5431 | issn_series | 2191-5423 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
