| Abstract: | The application of the laws of thermodynamics is analyzed for the case that a system exists in the domain of negative absolute temperature. It is shown that irreversible processes are accompanied by an increase in entropy, but that it is possible to convert heat totally into work. In addition, it is impossible to convert work totally into heat and work must be added to the system to transfer thermal energy from a cold source to a hot one. |
