Abstract
In this chapter, processes in thermodynamics are considered under the aspect of the concept of dynamic information. Thermodynamics is a field in which the concept of information must match without contradiction. Energy and entropy play a dominant role here, as in information technology. The aim is to illustrate the dynamic information concept within thermodynamics, including new interpretations of known facts.

Notes
- 1.
This condition could also be derived from the indeterminacy relation for energy and time.
- 2.
Here the expansion is considered, the statements are valid analogously for a compression, of course.
- 3.
The theorem of Holevo would not allow changing the number of bits after splitting the data stream.
- 4.
It should be noted here that contrary to the expansion of a gas, the bits (photons) remain ordered after the expansion.
- 5.
The situation is similar to the adiabatic expansion of a gas. For the time being, the energy released to the surrounding system (the environment) carries no entropy in this view.
- 6.
N is the n up to which the bits have been summed.
- 7.
The terms “uncorrelated signal”, “optimally encoded signal”, and “white noise” are used synonymously here.
- 8.
Very short channels are achieved, among others, in the MBCFET, a further development of the FinFET.
