| Abstract: | In this paper, the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics and entropy is revisited in the context of cosmological
models in Gauss-Bonnet gravity with the boundary of the universe is assumed to be enclosed by the dynamical apparent horizon.
The model is best fitted with the observational data for distance modulus. The best fitted geometric and thermodynamic parameters
such as equation of state parameter, deceleration parameter and entropy are derived. To link between thermodynamic and geometric
parameters, the “entropy rate of change multiplied by the temperature” as a model independent thermodynamic state parameter
is also derived. The results show that the model is in good agreement with the observational analysis. |
