5 years ago in Statistical Analysis By Prithvi Patel

Statistical Tests

Do we need any kind of statistical approach in thermodynamics? Also, is there something called statistical thermodynamics. I have heard about classical thermodynamics but not about statistical one.

Of course. You definitely need a statistical approach in thermodynamics. Moreover, thermodynamics is suitable for the statistical approach.

Yes sure. Consider an election opinion poll published in a newspaper/ tv. Such a poll determines how many people were interviewed for the purpose. This number is important because, even if the polling was done without being bias, the laws of statistics state that there is an intrinsic error. This error is of order one over the square root of the number of people that were questioned.

Prithvi, you heard it right. There exists statistical thermodynamics as well. If we go beyond classical thermodynamics and investigate then, we get the results of classical thermodynamics, and also a large number of other results. Such results enable the macroscopic parameters of the system to be calculated using knowledge of its microscopic constituents. This is nothing but statistical thermodynamics.
