|    How to violate the (Clausius statement o    |

      From: gusenet@gmx.net              Abstract       This article describes an isolated optical setup where the entropy increases       when two blackbodies - starting at same temperture - will build up a certain       temperature difference. This is done by a special arragement where a kind of       filter blocks a        different fraction of heat radiation in both directions. Therefore one       blackbody will cool off the other will warm up - until a temperature       difference will be established. This prove will be done in a qualitativ form.       This optical setup violoates the Clausius statement of the 2nd law, an       empirically validated postulate of thermodynamics, which states that "Heat can       never pass from a colder to a warmer body without some other change, connected       therewith, occurring at        the same time."               Setup       The optical setup consists of five sheets. There are two blackbodies at the       outer borders. In between are two transparent media with a high refractive       index. In the middle is a transparent medium with a low refractive index. This       sheet acts like a filter        which let pass only beams with an angle lower than the critical angle. If       these sheets are all parallel (like a "sandwich") no net flux will occur       between the black bodies. However if a least one sheet is rotated, a net flux       will occur which leads to the        temperature difference. It is surprising, you can find this prove here:              https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9LA2olZBPyhaU1kYlNlUG5WSDA/edit?usp=sharing               (PDF, without login)               Gerhard              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
