17. Full equivalence of these two formulations is widely discussed, for example, in [P. T. Landsberg, Am. J. Phys. AJPIAS 0002-9505 10.1119/1.18510 65, 296 (1997), and references therein]
18. A convincing argument that unattainability of absolute zero is implied by Nernst's theorem is given in [E. A. Guggenheim, Thermodynamics. An Advanced Treatment for Chemists and Physicists (North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1949)]
19. and based on the fact that (for finite-dimensional systems) entropy S (T) =S (0) + 0T C T′ d T′ must be also finite, which puts a restriction that limT→0 C=0. The converse implication is discussed in, e.g.
