GIBBS PARADOX AND THE MEANING OF THE CONCEPT OF ENTROPY IN CLASSICAL PHYSICS
Authors:
M.L. Khazin.



Abstract:
The problem of entropy increase upon gas mixing, known as the "Gibbs paradox", is discussed. Three approaches to the solution of the problem are used: thermodynamical, probabilistic, and dynamical. In all the three approaches the concept of entropy is shown to be conditional to the same extent as the concept of particle identity. In the dynamical approach this conditionality is due to the construction of an envelope enclosing the trajectory of the system in a multi-dimensional phase space. The choice of the way to construct the envelope is determined by the purpose with which a particular problem is solved, and the entropy is calculated to meet the purpose. It is shown that in the framework of the dynamical approach the Gibbs paradox is solved in a natural way and, moreover, that the paradox itself is a result of absolutization of the concept of entropy.
