Abstract

The application of the second law of thermodynamics to a typical irreversible process of a thermally isolated system shows that the Arithmetic-mean-geometric-mean (AM-GM) inequality, a powerful mathematical inequality, follows logically from the second law of thermodynamics, a powerful physical law.
