maxwell's demon | (n) an imaginary creature that controls a small hole in a partition that divides a chamber filled with gas into two parts and allows fast molecules to move in one direction and slow molecules to move in the other direction through the hole; this would result in one part of the container becoming warmer and the other cooler, thus decreasing entropy and violating the second law of thermodynamics |
maxwell's equations | (n) four differential equations that summarize classical properties of electromagnetic fields |
マクスウェルの方程式 | [マクスウェルのほうていしき, makusuueru nohouteishiki] (n) Maxwell's equations (summarizing the classical properties of the electromagnetic field) [Add to Longdo] |
マクスウェルの魔物 | [マクスウェルのまもの, makusuueru nomamono] (n) Maxwell's demon [Add to Longdo] |
