论文摘要
我们表明,任何外部干预(插入或删除分区)会破坏平衡或将其带入系统中总是需要工作和热量以确保遵守第一定律,这一事实在文献中被完全忽略了。结果,没有违反第二定律的行为。我们讨论了我们发现Szilard和Landauer信息原则的发现的后果,并表明不需要信息熵。还考虑了此结果与麦克斯韦恶魔的相关性。
We show that any external intervention (insertion or removal of a partition) that destroys the equilibrium or brings it in a system always requires work and heat to ensure that the first law is obeyed, a fact that has been completely overlooked in the literature. As a consequence, there is no second law violation. We discuss the ramifications of our finding for information principles of Szilard and Landauer and show that no information entropy is needed. The relevance of this result for Maxwell's demon is also considered.
