Would that be 0.3010 or 0.6931? Or does it mean log2 of any number you can think of?
Quote from: Spring Theory on 23/05/2022 14:10:06My elegant description of temperature It may be elegant, but it isn't much use.Do you think that you can clearly explain the concept of entropy changes without using temperature in your explanation?

Quote from: Spring Theory on 23/05/2022 14:10:06Temperature is the amount of energy required to change the entropy by one bit.So the entropy of an object at constant temperature is continually changing? Welcome to the world of Hamdani Yusuf!

Quote from: hamdani yusuf on 23/05/2022 03:43:10So, what's your answer to this question : what is temperature?A measure of the internal kinetic energy of a body.
So, what's your answer to this question : what is temperature?
Why do you use base 10 instead of e?
It's any form of energy.

Welcome to the world of Hamdani Yusuf!The gradient is d height/ d distance .That doesn't mean that all hills are moving.That's not H Y's world, nor S T's world.It's only in your world.

This is why temperature is in units of energy.
Entropy is dimensionless.
Quote from: Spring Theory on 24/05/2022 12:15:19This is why temperature is in units of energy.No. The mean energy of a particle within a body is kBT where kB is the Boltzmann constant, whose dimensions are joules per kelvin.Quote from: Spring Theory on 24/05/2022 12:15:19Entropy is dimensionless.No. The dimensions of entropy are joules per kelvin.
There's a discussion elsewhere about dissolving a stressed spring.
Kelvin = Energy
Quote from: Bored chemist on 24/05/2022 08:57:08It's any form of energy.Er, no. The potential energy of a strained lattice may be enormous, but as that can't be transferred by thermal conduction to another body, it doesn't affect its temperature. There's a discussion elsewhere about dissolving a stressed spring.
However, when a body has a well defined temperature the energy per degree of freedom will be the same anyway.
"The potential energy of a strained lattice may be enormous"yes, it was the cause of the Windscale fire- it made the graphite very hot...
Quote from: hamdani yusuf on 10/05/2022 23:19:28I think that the experimental plot above plays important role in the development of equipartition theory, also the concept of degree of freedom. But the difference in the gradient of the curve shows that at least at some points, the energy distribution among different degrees of freedoms are not equal. Or it shows that the number of degrees of freedom isn't an integer.
