论文摘要
我们批判性地重新审视了由标准热力学提供的热平衡的定义。我们表明,它是指在基本层面上破坏理论的协方差的实验条件,因此,它不能应用于移动物体的情况。我们提出了该定义的扩展,该定义显然是协变量的,可以应用于特殊相对论中孤立系统的研究。因此,事实证明,热力学的零定律在体内不仅具有相同温度,而且是相同的质量四速度中心之间的物体之间建立了对等关系。
We critically revisit the definition of thermal equilibrium, in its operational formulation, provided by standard thermodynamics. We show that it refers to experimental conditions which break the covariance of the theory at a fundamental level and that, therefore, it cannot be applied to the case of moving bodies. We propose an extension of this definition which is manifestly covariant and can be applied to the study of isolated systems in special relativity. The zeroth law of thermodynamics is, then, proven to establish an equivalence relation among bodies which have not only the same temperature, but also the same center of mass four-velocity.
