Bob, in great insight says the following:First
I'm not sure what you're after here, but the term dW = PdV, in the
alaw applied to a gas, would be replaced by the generalized term YdX for
dipolesmore general system (eg.: charged particles in E fields, magnetic
notin B fields, masses in gravitational fields). In these systems, are
beadiabatic variations of the applied field pertinent to your
considerations?
Bob, I understand what you say and I think that in principle I ought to
able to do this sort of calculation. Maybe it is just that I don'tknow
enough physics or maybe that I am just stymied, but I have not been ableto
do so -- I have tried!
Hence an appeal to the list: Read my derivation of dS on the web page in
question and do such a derivation for some other system which ends with
dS=0. . . .
