Linking Microscopic Reversibility to Macroscopic Irreversibility,
Emphasizing the Role of Deterministic Thermostats and Simple Examples, At and
Away From Equilibrium [PDF]
William G. Hoover, Carol G. HooverMolecular Dynamics and Statistical Mechanics make possible a particle-based understanding of Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics, including the fascinating Loschmidt contradiction between time-reversible atomistic mechanics and the time-irreversible thermodynamic dissipation incorporated into macroscopic fluid and solid mechanics.View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.1276
