In existographies, Wolfgang Muschik (c. 1936-) (CR:8) is a German mathematical physicist and thermodynamicist, noted for []
Overview
In 1990, Muschik, Aspects of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics, outlined his views on nonequilibrium thermodynamics. [1]
In the 2000s, Muschik was the editor of the Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics.
Entropy of students
In 2009, Muschik was one of the commentators in Moriarty-Thims debate, on the question of whether or not a group of students, standing together in grassy campus field, has a thermodynamic entropy; the following is Muschik's view:
“Yes, you CAN [say that a particular arrangement of students has a thermodynamic entropy]. If you have a certain defined distribution function related to these students, you can define an entropy.”
