Interpreting heat using information entropy












4












$begingroup$


In an answer to the post about Microscopic Definition of Heat and Work, Ronan says,




$$<dE> = sum epsilon_idp_i + p_idepsilon_i$$



We can see that the change in average energy is partly due to a change
in the distribution of probability of occurrence of microscopic state
$epsilon_i$ and partly due to a change in the eigen values $epsilon_i$ of the
N-particles microscopic eigen states.




and the first term corresponds to heat:
$$TdS = sum epsilon_idp_i.$$
I am having a hard time imagining what it means.
If the following is true:




  1. probabilities $p_i$ can not change the shape of Gibbs distribution if we assume that the new state is in equilibrium

  2. $sum p_i = 1$


then the temperature must have risen (without any work done)! Is that correct, or can anything else happen?

          When you heat a single-phase system without performing any work, then yes, the temperature must increase, which is interpreted as a change in the dispersion of energy levels.



          Some alternatives are:




          • A two-phase system, described by expanding the fundamental relation $dU=T,dS-P,dV+Sigma_imu_i,dN_i$ to include the final term, where $mu$ is the chemical potential and $N$ is the amount of stuff and where the temperature stays constant (in a first-order transition) even though the amount of each phase changes.


          • Doing work on a system, in which the energy levels might vary even though their dispersion is unchanged. An example is accelerating a mass, in which the speed of each constitute particle changes by a constant amount even though its speed relative to the center of mass remains the same, as does the temperature.

This goes as follows: Let $(E, langle, rangle)$ be a euclidean space of dimension $n geq 2$ . 1) For any $x in E$ , show that $||x|| = sqrt{n}$ if and only if there exists $(e_1, dots, e_n)$ an orthonormal basis of $E$ such that $x =e_1+ ldots + e_n$ . 2) For any $(x,y) in E$ , show that $||x|| = sqrt{n}$ , $||y|| = sqrt{frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}}$ and $langle x,y rangle = frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ if and only if there eixsts $(e_1, ldots, e_n)$ an orthonormal basis of $E$ such that $x = e_1 + ldots + e_n$ and $y = e_1 + 2e_2 + ldots + ne_n$ The first q
