Abstract:
A vibrational paradigm of atomic dynamic in dense fluids is known to provide useful insight on the transport and thermodynamic properties of fluids in three dimensions. In this paper, a vibrational model is generalized to describe the excess entropy of two-dimensional (2D) fluids. A simple practical implementation of this model is demonstrated to deliver accurate results for various systems, such as one-component plasmas with Coulomb and logarithmic interactions, a 2D fluid of dipole particles, and a 2D Yukawa fluid. The applicability limits, relevance to three-dimensional fluids, relations to other 2D phenomena, and potential practical applications are briefly discussed.

Entropy
When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...
Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...
