Ergontropic Dynamics -- Contribution for an Extended Particle Dynamics

Classical Physics 2021-10-18 v1

Abstract

A vast concourse of events and phenomena occur in nature that may be interrelated by a entropy-maximization technique that provides a comprehensible explanation of a range of physical problems, integrating in a new framework the universal tendency of energy to a minimum and entropy to a maximum. The outcome is a modification of Newton's dynamical equation of motion, grounding the principles of mechanics on the concepts of energy and entropy, instead on the usual definition of force, integrating into a consistent framework the description of translation and vortical motion. The new method offers a fresh approach to traditional problems and can be applied with advantage in the solution of variational problems.
