Detail Page

written by Barry R. Parker and Robert J. McLeod

An analogy between black hole physics and thermodynamics is broadened, and equations similar to the usual partial differential relations of thermodynamics are found for black holes. The results can be used to supplement an undergraduate course on thermodynamics.
