Configuration entropy — In statistical mechanics, configuration entropy is the portion of a system s entropy that is related to the position of its constituent particles rather than to their velocity or momentum. It is physically related to the number of ways of… … Wikipedia
Entropy — This article is about entropy in thermodynamics. For entropy in information theory, see Entropy (information theory). For a comparison of entropy in information theory with entropy in thermodynamics, see Entropy in thermodynamics and information… … Wikipedia
Entropy of mixing — The entropy of mixing is the change in the configuration entropy, an extensive thermodynamic quantity, when two different chemical substances or components are mixed. This entropy change must be positive since there is more uncertainty about the… … Wikipedia
Entropy (arrow of time) — Entropy is the only quantity in the physical sciences that picks a particular direction for time, sometimes called an arrow of time. As one goes forward in time, the second law of thermodynamics says that the entropy of an isolated system can… … Wikipedia
Entropy (statistical thermodynamics) — In thermodynamics, statistical entropy is the modeling of the energetic function entropy using probability theory. The statistical entropy perspective was introduced in 1870 with the work of the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. Mathematical… … Wikipedia
Entropy (order and disorder) — Boltzmann s molecules (1896) shown at a rest position in a solid In thermodynamics, entropy is commonly associated with the amount of order, disorder, and/or chaos in a thermodynamic system. This stems from Rudolf Clausius 1862 assertion that any … Wikipedia
Conformational entropy — is the entropy associated with the physical arrangement of a polymer chain that assumes a compact or globular state in solution. The concept is most commonly applied to biological macromolecules such as proteins and RNA, but can also be used for… … Wikipedia
Residual entropy — is physically significant entropy, which is present even after a substance is cooled arbitrarily close to absolute zero. That is, if a material is reduced to its ground state, residual entropy occurs if the material can exist in multiple… … Wikipedia
Maximum entropy probability distribution — In statistics and information theory, a maximum entropy probability distribution is a probability distribution whose entropy is at least as great as that of all other members of a specified class of distributions. According to the principle of… … Wikipedia
Statistical thermodynamics — In thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics is the study of the microscopic behaviors of thermodynamic systems using probability theory. Statistical thermodynamics, generally, provides a molecular level interpretation of thermodynamic… … Wikipedia
