On the relationship between microcanonical and canonical Gibbs distributions

Resumo

It is established that the agreement between the use of microcanonical and canonical Gibbs distributions is possible only if the temperature of a closed equilibrium system and its specific energy in a thermostat are mutually inverse functions. The analysis shows that the derivation of the canonical Gibbs distribution from the microcanoncial does not agree with the physical condition for separating a macroscopic part of a closed equilibrium system.
