In this article, we start by describing a few “definitions” of the solvation processes, which were used in the literature until about 1980. Then, we choose one of these definitions and show that it has a simple molecular interpretation. This fact

In this article, we start by describing one of the most characteristic properties of time: “time can never decrease”. From this property, numerous authors have concluded that irreversible processes, that always proceed in one direction, must be r

In 2015, I wrote a book with the same title as this article. The book’s subtitle is: “What we know and what we do not know.” On the book’s dedication page, I wrote: “This book is dedicated to readers of popular science books who are baffled

The idea that entropy is associated with the “arrow of time” has its roots in Clausius’s statement on the Second Law: “Entropy of the Universe always increases.” However, the explicit association of the entropy with time’s arrow arises fr

It is well known that the statistical mechanical theory of liquids has been lagging far behind the theory of either gases or solids, See for examples: Ben-Naim (2006), Fisher (1964), Guggenheim (1952) Hansen and McDonald (1976), Hill (1956), Temperle

Two versions of the so-called Gibbs paradox are discussed. Both of these areshown to be non-paradoxes. It is also shown that there is a different real paradox that emergesfrom Gibbs writings.

We start with a clear distinction between Shannon’s Measure of Information (SMI) and the Thermodynamic Entropy. The first is defined on any probability distribution; and therefore it is a very general concept. On the other hand Entropy is defined o

This book discusses entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics in such a way that everyone can understand its subject matter. Entropy is one of the most interesting concepts in physics. Although it is a well-defined concept, it is still perceived b

This is a sequel to the author's book entitled “Entropy Demystified” (Published by World Scientific, 2007). The aim is essentially the same as that of the previous book by the author: to present Entropy and the Second Law as simple, meaningful an
