Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics II. Basic equations

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The derivation and property of the fundamental equation of statistical mechanics are analyzed. The conditions for which a macroscopic system can be described with the help of average values are investigated. It is shown how the law of increasing entropy is obtained from the general formulation of the theory.
