Boltzmann



Synonymum Boltzmann obecně odkazuje na Boltzmanna

Stručný úvod

LudwigEdwardBoltzmann (1844.2.20-1906.9.5), termodynamiku a jednoho ze zakladatelů statistické fyziky.

LudwigBoltzmannwasborninVienna,Austriain1844,andreceivedhisdoctoratefromtheUniversityofViennain1866.

Boltzmann'scontributionsaremainlyinthermodynamicsandstatisticalphysics.In1869,heextendedMaxwell'slawofvelocitydistributiontothecaseofconservativeforcefield,andobtainedBoltzmann'slawofdistribution.In1872,BoltzmannestablishedtheBoltzmannequation(alsoknownasthetransportequation)todescribethetransitionprocessofagasfromanon-equilibriumstatetoanequilibriumstate.In1877,heproposedthefamousBoltzmannentropyformula.

LudwigBoltzmannwasborninViennaanddiedinDuino,Italy.HereceivedhisdoctoratefromtheUniversityofViennain1866andservedsuccessivelyProfessorofUniversityofGraz,UniversityofVienna,UniversityofMunichandUniversityofLeipzig.HedevelopedMaxwell'stheoryofmolecularmotion,linkedtheentropyandprobabilityofaphysicalsystem,clarifiedthestatisticalpropertiesofthesecondlawofthermodynamics,andledtothetheoryofenergyequivalence(Maxwell-Boltzmann'slaw).Hefirstpointedoutthatallspontaneousprocessesalwayschangefromalowprobabilitystatetoahighprobabilitystate,fromordertodisorder.In1877,Boltzmannproposedtouse"entropy"tomeasurethedegreeofdisorderofmoleculesinasystem,andgavetheentropySandthedegreeofdisorderΩ(thatis,thenumberofmicroscopicstatescorrespondingtoacertainobjectivestate,ormacroscopicTherelationshipbetweentheprobabilityofappearanceofthestate)isS=klnΩ.ThisisthefamousBoltzmannformula,inwhichtheconstantk=1.38×10-23J/KiscalledBoltzmann'sconstant.Hefirstappliedtheprinciplesofthermodynamicstoradiationandderivedthelawofthermalradiation,calledStefan-Boltzmann'slaw.Healsopaysattentiontotheresearchofthephilosophyofnaturalscience,andhasauthored"TheDynamicTheoryofMatter"andsoon.Asaphilosopher,heopposedpositivismandphenomenology,andresolutelydefendedatomismwhenitwasundersevereattack.
