On global equivalence and entropy in simple bodies
Abstract
En
In a well known paper W. A. Day pointed out that, for bodies with fading memory, entropy can be considered as a quantity that is not well defined because of its non uniqueness. That remark has been considered as a datum in the criticism of foundations of continuum thermodynamics. The present paper points out that the indetermination of entropy plays a role also in global equivalence for bodies with fading memory.
