Clausius inequality correct for negative temperature

[persia7]

is clausius inequality correct for negative temperature?, if you see the proof of it in positive temperature its not correct.

Clausius statement is just a statement of second law of thermodynamics.

Its correct.

For reversible process,

ΔS_total=0

For irreversible process:

ΔS_Total>q_irrev/T

And scientists are not able to achieve exactly zero absolute temperatures. Negative absolute temperature is not even defined !

sankalpmittal, negative temperatures have long been introduced, especially in spin systems and lasers, and some month ago even for translational degrees of freedom.
There is indeed some need to adapt the various statements of the second law when systems with negative temperature are present.
