I would be interesting to know if that work has withstood the test of time.
Now I'm really confused. The wikipedia artical on the Third Law of Thermodynamics says
"The third law of thermodynamics is a statistical law of nature regarding entropy:
The entropy of a perfect crystal approaches zero as temperature approaches absolute zero."
and the wikipedia artical...
I understand the pedagogical concern that the idea of “disorder” should be discouraged when introducing entropy to new students (e.g. http://entropysite.oxy.edu/cracked_crutch.html).
But I also just read http://www.science20.com/train_thought/blog/entropy_not_disorder-75081" by Steve...
It was provided for me and I'm trying to solve for h. It is possible that there is a different approach to the problem that solves for h directly (via caluclus) but I have not found it.
This is my first post and is for an applied project (not for a class) but I thought this was the best place to ask for help.
