On the Relationship between Thermodynamics and Special Relativity

Abstract

Starting from a formulation for the $dS$ element that includes movement, and considering the variation of the entropy Lorentz invariant, we found the relativistic transformations for thermodynamic systems that satisfy the three laws of thermodynamics. Particularly, we found the temperature and pressure transformations, given by $T'=\gamma T$ and $p'=\gamma^2p$ respectively. Furthermore, we show that this transformations keeps the form of the state equation for an ideal gas in agreement with the relativity principle.
