Thermodynamic Entropy from Sadi Carnot’s Cycle using Gauss’ and Doll’s-Tensor Molecular Dynamics
Carnot’s four-part ideal-gas cycle includes both isothermal and adiabatic expansions and compressions. Analyzing this cycle provides the fundamental basis for statistical thermodynamics. We explore the cycle here from a pedagogical view in order to promote understanding of the macroscopic therm ...
