Thermodynamical entropy (and its additivity) within generalized thermodynamics

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1394673



Abstract: This is an analysis of the additivity of the entropy of thermodynamical systems with finite heat baths. It is presented an expression for the physical entropy of weakly interacting ergodic systems, and it is shown that it is valid for both the microcanonical (constant energy), the Boltzmann-Gibbs canonical (infinite heat bath) and the Tsallis (finite heat bath) ensembles. This physical entropy may be written as a variant of Tsallis entropy. It becomes an additive function after a suitable choice of additive constants, in a procedure reminiscent to the solution presented by Gibbs to the paradox bearing his name.
