We show that the third law of thermodynamics holds if the equilibrium states cluster appropriately in space and time uniformly for small temperatures. In this case, the entropy density and the dynamical entropy of the shift coincide. As an example in a one-dimensional lattice system with short-range

The basic aim of this paper is to formulate rigorous conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy and entropy for a watershed organized around the channel network. The approach adopted is based on the subdivision of the whole watershed into smaller discrete units, called representative elementa

In a recent series of articles, Gilat has proposed that the interaction between a chiral molecule and a solvent can lead to an ordering mechanism. This proposal conflicts with the second law of thermodynamics.

We review the cosmic evolution of entropy and the gravitational origin of the free energy required by life. All dissipative structures in the universe including all forms of life, owe their existence to the fact that the universe started in a low entropy state and has not yet reached equilibrium. Th
