Linking Microscopic Reversibility to Macroscopic Irreversibility, Emphasizing the Role of Deterministic Thermostats and Simple Examples, At and Away From Equilibrium

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Molecular Dynamics and Statistical Mechanics make possible a particle-based understanding of Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics, including the fascinating Loschmidt contradiction between time-reversible atomistic mechanics and the time-irreversible thermodynamic dissipation incorporated into macroscopic fluid and solid mechanics.
