	Thermodynamic temperature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The thermodynamic temperature can be shown to have special properties, and in particular can be seen to be uniquely defined (up to some constant multiplicative factor) by considering the efficiency of idealized heat engines.
		Thermodynamic temperature (formerly called absolute temperature) is a measure, in kelvins (K), of temperature for thermodynamics.
		For a system, where entropy S may be a function S(E) of its energy E, the thermodynamic termperature T is given by:

	Reversible process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reversible processes define the boundaries of how efficient heat engines can be in thermodynamics and engineering: a reversible process is one where no heat is lost from the system as "waste", and the machine is thus as efficient as it can possibly be (see Carnot cycle).
		A reversible process changes the state of a system in such a way that the net change in the combined entropy of the system and its surroundings is zero.
		In thermodynamics, a reversible process (or reversible cycle if the process is cyclic) is a process that can be "reversed" by means of infinitesimal changes in some property of the system (Sears and Salinger, 1986).

		In the centigrade or Celsius temperature scale, the freezing point of pure water at one atmosphere is assigned the value zero; the boiling point is +100 C. One-degree increments in the centigrade scale are the same size as those in the kelvin scale.

	Thermodynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the dependence of any one of these four thermodynamic potentials cannot be expressed in terms of the thermodynamic parameters of the system without knowledge of the interaction potentials between system components, the quantum energy levels and their corresponding degeneracies, or the partition function of the system under study.
		Thermodynamics (from the Greek thermos meaning heat and dynamis meaning power) is a branch of physics that studies changes in heat, work, enthalpy, and entropy as related to the spontaneity of processes.
		The name "thermodynamics", however, did not arrive until some twenty-five years later when in 1849, the British mathematician and physicist William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) coined the term ‘thermodynamics' in a paper on the efficiency of steam engines.

	About Temperature
		Thermodynamic temperature is the fundamental temperature; its unit is the kelvin which is defined as the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
		Temperature becomes a quantity definable either in terms of macroscopic thermodynamic quantities such as heat and work, or, with equal validity and identical results, in terms of a quantity which characterized the energy distribution among the particles in a system.
		The way that the gas temperature scale and the thermodynamic temperature scale are shown to be identical is based on the microscopic interpretation of temperature, which postulates that the macroscopic measurable quantity called temperature is a result of the random motions of the microscopic particles that make up a system.

	Irreversibility and Equilibrium in Biological Systems
		What Gibbs did not take into account is that some thermodynamic systems can delay the dispersion or diffusion of their energy towards more available microstates, that is, by limiting the number of available final microstates towards which the free energy or internal energy of the thermodynamic systems can be diffused or dispersed.
		When a thermodynamic system delays, not stops nor reverts, the increase in its local entropy, it makes that the entropy of the environment, and soon the global entropy, increases by the same magnitude in which it would increase in that thermodynamic system.
		This is the meaning of death, and it obeys to the law of thermodynamics that says that all systems in the universe have a tendency to the equilibrium (entropy).

		Under the assumption that the two order parameters can be chosen to be the same, in the thermodynamic limit, it is shown that the Parisi free energy is a rigorous upper bound for the free energy of the model.
		We are interested in the expression of the thermodynamic limit $N\to\infty$ for the free energy per spin, averaged over the external noise (quenched average), $$\lim_{N\to\infty}N^{-1}E\bigl(\log Z_N(\beta,J)\bigr).
		In a forthcoming paper [4], we show that there is good evidence, not a definite mathematical proof as yet, that the two order parameters in (31) can be taken the same, in the thermodynamic limit, and moreover that the Parisi free energy is the true free energy, and not only an upper bound.
