On the foundation of thermodynamics by microcanonical thermostatistics. The microscopic origin of condensation and phase separations

Conventional thermo statistics address infinite homogeneous systems within the canonical ensemble. However, some 170 years ago the original motivation of thermodynamics was the description of steam engines, i.e. boiling water. Its essential physics is the separation of the gas phase from the liquid. Of course, boiling water is inhomogeneous and as such cannot be treated by conventional thermo statistics. Then it is not astonishing, that a phase transition of first order is signaled canonically by a Yang Lee singularity. Thus it is only treated correctly by microcanonical Boltzmann Planck statistics. This is elaborated in the present paper. It turns out that the Boltzmann Planck statistics is much richer and gives fundamental insight into statistical mechanics and especially into entropy. This can be done to a far extend rigorously and analytically. The deep and essential difference between extensive and intensive control parameters, i.e. microcanonical and canonical statistics, is exemplified by rotating, self gravitating systems. In this paper the necessary appearance of a convex entropy S E and the negative heat capacity at phase separation in em small as well macroscopic systems independently of the range of the force is pointed out. The appearance of a critical end point for the liquid gas transition in the p E or V E phase diagram can be easily explained as well the non existence of a critical end point of the solid liquid transitio
