Gibbs’ Paradox in the Light of Newton’s Notion of State [PDF]

Entropy, 2009
In this letter, it is argued that the correct counting of microstates is obtained from the very beginning when using Newtonian rather than Laplacian state functions, because the former are intrinsically permutation invariant.

On the So-Called Gibbs Paradox, and on the Real Paradox [PDF]

Entropy, 2007
Two versions of the so-called Gibbs paradox are discussed. Both of these areshown to be non-paradoxes. It is also shown that there is a different real paradox that emergesfrom Gibbs writings.

Explanation of the Gibbs paradox within the framework of quantum thermodynamics [PDF]

, 2006
The issue of the Gibbs paradox is that when considering mixing of two gases within classical thermodynamics, the entropy of mixing appears to be a discontinuous function of the difference between the gases: it is finite for whatever small difference, but

The Gibbs Paradox Revisited [PDF]

, 2010
The Gibbs paradox has frequently been interpreted as a sign that particles of the same kind are fundamentally indistinguishable; and that quantum mechanics, with its identical fermions and bosons, is indispensable for making sense of this.

Demonstration and resolution of the Gibbs paradox of the first kind [PDF]

, 2013
The Gibbs paradox of the first kind (GP1) refers to the false increase in entropy which, in statistical mechanics, is calculated from the process of combining two gas systems S1 and S2 consisting of distinguishable particles.

Yet another resolution of the Gibbs paradox: an information theory approach [PDF]

, 2002
The ``Gibbs Paradox'' refers to several related questions concerning entropy in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics: whether it is an extensive quantity or not, how it changes when identical particles are mixed, and the proper way to count states in

A quantum solution to Gibbs Paradox with few particles [PDF]

, 2012
We present a fully quantum solution to the Gibbs paradox (GP) with an illustration based on a gedanken experiment with two particles trapped in an infinite potential well.

Entropy Calculation of Reversible Mixing of Ideal Gases Shows Absence of Gibbs Paradox [PDF]

Entropy, 1999
: We consider the work of reversible mixing of ideal gases using a real process. Now assumptions were made concerning infinite shifts, infinite number of cycles and infinite work to provide an accurate calculation of entropy resulting from reversible ...
