Whenever I see a fool bantering about big words like Statistical Thermodynamics I look it up. according to wiki Two central quantities in statistical thermodynamics are the Boltzmann factor and the partition function. In physics, the Boltzmann factor is a weighting factor that determines the relative probability of a state i in a multi-state system in thermodynamic equilibrium at temperature the partition function. Definition Suppose we have a thermodynamically large system that is in constant thermal contact with the environment, which has temperature T, with both the volume of the system and the number of constituent particlesfixed. ROTFLOL all know the atmosphere is static with a fixed temperature and so Global Warming fantasy must be built upon Statistical Thermodynamics...

liberal arts schools Are there any art schools other then liberal ones? If so, do they also study Statistical Thermodynamics?? Brain washing is a big subject. -g-

I have no idea what Statistical Thermodynamics is, Nice summary of all your knowledge on the subject of Thermodynamics.

Classical thermodynamics is very heavy in math especially calculus and not one bit of heat transfer. Ever hear about the Laws of Thermodynamics? en.wikipedia.org What exactly do you think heat transfer is, since you seem to think it is not part of Thermodynamics? Are there some "Laws of Heat Transfer" I don't know about, which are different from the well known Laws of Thermodynamics? Are you really as dumb as you seem determined to display here? What's your point? They don't hand out prizes for keeping your head in the sand (or other less appealing environments).
