A Modified Szilard's Engine: Measurement, Information, and Maxwell's Demon

Abstract: Using an isolated measurement process, I've calculated the effect measurement has on entropy for the multi-cylinder Szilard engine. This calculation shows that the system of cylinders possesses an entropy associated with cylinder total energy states, and that it records information tr...
