Entropy and Kinetic Theory for a Confined Gas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Extract
A well-known theorem in the classical kinetic theory for a gas states that the entropy is an increasing function of time. However, in order to obtain this theorem for a confined gas, some assumption about molecular response to the container wall is required. For example, it is enough to suppose that the wall reflects the molecules specularly [4].
