Addendum on ‘Entropy uniqueness determines temperature’

Abstract We discuss how to apply the proposed minimum entropy deviation criterion when there is a measurable property P for which there is a statistical mechanical theory as a function of temperature T . When P m can be measured more accurately than heat flow d Q , then P ( T ) can be inverted to ob...

Summary:Abstract We discuss how to apply the proposed minimum entropy deviation criterion when there is a measurable property P for which there is a statistical mechanical theory as a function of temperature T . When P m can be measured more accurately than heat flow d Q , then P ( T ) can be inverted to obtain accurate values for T ( P ); following this, the minimum rms entropy deviation criterion using T ( P ) then can be used to refine measurements of d Q . When dQ is more accurately measurable than P , then measurement of d Q and the minimum rms entropy deviation criterion provides a means to obtain T , which can then be used to obtain more accurate values of P ( T ).
