Reply to Note on cond-mat/0510270: Jarzynski equation for adiabatically stretched rotor

الأصل · EN

Although the analysis in cond-mat/0510270 is correct, this doesn't mean Jarzynski relation holds always for an arbitrary process. There exists a sufficient and necessary condition for Jarzynski relation to hold for an adiabatic parameter switching process. In contradiction to recent assertions, the validity condition of Jarzynski relation for an adiabatic process is not always satisfied.
