论文摘要
我们认为，麦克斯韦的恶魔无法造成非零的温度差。因此，它不会破坏平衡，第二定律永远不会受到风险，与麦克斯韦的主张相反，并被许多人接受。因此，值得注意的是，尽管如此，恶魔悖论一直是新想法的宝贵来源。我们使用两个独立的参数，一种通过扩展布里鲁因的方法，使用经典的热力学方法，另一种使用平衡统计力学和中心极限定理。
We argue that Maxwell's demon is incapable of creating a nonzero temperature difference. Hence, it does not destroy equilibrium and the second law is never at risk, contrary to the claim by Maxwell and accepted by many. It is therefore remarkable that despite this, the demon paradox has been a valuable source of new ideas. We use two independent arguments, one using classical equilibrium thermodynamics by extending Brillouin's approach, and the other one using equilibrium statistical mechanics and the central limit theorem.
