Choice of the thermodynamic variables

Description

Some basic ideas of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, both at equilibrium and off equilibrium, are recalled. In particular, the selection of relevant variables which underlies any macroscopic description is discussed, together with the meaning of the various thermodynamic quantities, in order to set the thermodynamic approaches used in nuclear physics in a general prospect

Abstract (French)

On rappelle quelques idees de base de la thermodynamique et de la mecanique statistique a l'equilibre et hors d'equilibre. On examine en particulier le probleme du choix des variables macroscopiques, en discutant de la signification des diverses grandeurs thermodynamiques, afin de placer dans une perspective generale les approches thermodynamiques utilisees en physique nucleaire
