The varieties of this quantity named for Shannon and Hartley can be generalized by the version named for Renyi.
The varieties of this quantity named for Shannon and Hartley can be generalized by the version named for Renyi. For all liquids, the change in this quantity is about the same according to Trouton's rule. For an ideal gas, this quantity can be calculated with the Sackur-Tetrode equation. A definition of this quantity is the logarithm of the number of microstates corresponding to a particular macrostate multiplied by Boltzmann's constant. A consequence of Maxwell's Demon would be the reduction of this quantity, violating the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Name this state function represented S, sometimes described as the disorder of a system.
