> Determining the entropy of a system typically entails measuring its heat capacity. That approach is harder to apply when the system consists of a very small number of electrons corralled in a tiny device. Fortunately, the entropy of such systems can be derived from the chemical potential, which is the energy needed to pack in an additional electron.
Does this not call for “entropy” to be redefined as “the distribution of potential over negative potential (manifold surface area)”?
Does this not support the growing movement that entropy is not a footnote of thermodynamics, rather thermodynamics is a footnote of entropy?
Heat is only the ultimate exhaust of all work, and all existence generates work through interaction (interference.)
Entropy is the distribution of potential over the surface area of negative potential.
