One reports three pairs of physical systems that are thermodynamically equivalent. They are: the one dimensional ideal gas and the one dimensional hard rod fluid, any pair of fluids characterized by interactions that coincide by a scaling of the distance and the coupling constant, and the ideal Fermi and classical gases.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-29T16:15:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "physical systems", "thermodynamical equivalence", "first system", "dimensional hard rod fluid", "thermodynamically equivalent" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150100410C" } } }
