A System and Its Surroundings
... There are many different types of energy, but the two that will be discussed in this section are potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is "stored energy," energy that contains the potential to do work when released. Any object that is stationary contains potential energy. For example ...

Chapter Entropy Statistics
... The thermodynamic probability W is a function of no. of particles (n) (which is function of µ amount of substance, the total no. of available phase space cells (which in turn depends upon the volume) and the energy u of the system. ...

CHAPTER 9: Statistical Physics
... Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906 by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on his work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics. Perhaps it will be wise to approach the subject cautiously. - David L. Goldstein ...
