Carathéodory introduced the concept of "adiabatic accessibility" to approach this statement, holding that an initial adiabatically isolated state would not be able to approach other states in its neighborhood.
Carathéodory introduced the concept of "adiabatic accessibility" to approach this statement, holding that an initial adiabatically isolated state would not be able to approach other states in its neighborhood. This postulate appears to contradict T-symmetry in Loschmidt's paradox, and heat from a reservoir cannot perfectly be converted into work in the Kelvin-Planck formulation of this statement. This postulate states that heat cannot flow from a colder body to a warmer body without doing work, according to Clausius's formulation. Apparently violated by Maxwell's Demon, for 10 points, name this law which states that the entropy of a closed system always increases.
