On the Clausius Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that for a metastable system there exists a theoretical possibility of a violation of the Clausius inequality without a violation of the second law. Possibilities of experimental detection of this hypothetical violation are pointed out. The question which will be considered here is the possibility of a violation of the Clausius inequality ∮ δQ

A proof of Clausius' theorem for time reversible deterministic microscopic dynamics.
In 1854 Clausius proved the famous theorem that bears his name by assuming the second "law" of thermodynamics. In the present paper we give a proof that requires no such assumption. Our proof rests on the laws of mechanics, a T-mixing property, an ergodic consistency condition, and on the axiom of causality. Our result relies on some recently derived theorems, such as the Evans-Searles and the ...
متن کاملA Nonequilibrium Extension of the Clausius Heat Theorem
We generalize the Clausius (in)equality to overdamped mesoscopic and macroscopic diffusions in the presence of nonconservative forces. In contrast to previous frameworks, we use a decomposition scheme for heat which is based on an exact variant of the Minimum Entropy Production Principle as obtained from dynamical fluctuation theory. This new extended heat theorem holds true for arbitrary drivi...
متن کاملInconsistencies and the Dynamics
It is generally agreed upon today that scientific reasoning, like everyday reasoning, proceeds in a dynamic way: inferences derived at some stage in the reasoning process may at a later stage be rejected. This dynamics may be extrinsic or intrinsic. I shall call it extrinsic when previously derived conclusions are rejected on non-logical grounds, and intrinsic when their rejection is based on a...
متن کاملA Revision of Clausius Work on the Second Law. 2. On the Values of Clausius Transformations
The values associated to Clausius transformations are obtained through an analysis different to that of Clausius inasmuch it does not introduce any assumption or condition as to what the combined value of the transformations in a reversible cyclical process should be. The values thus obtained allow for the identification of the flaw in Clausius work leading to the inconsistency discussed in par...
متن کاملA Revision of Clausius Work on the Second Law. 4. On the Refutal of Clausius Proof
Clausius arguments advanced to prove that in a reversible cyclical process the combined value of all the transformations therein occurring must be equal to nothing, are here refuted.
