Abstract
We show that Gupta’s Comment is incorrect, since the equilibration process in question is not isothermal, and hence the free energy does not decrease. We furthermore show that our free energy expression [E. La Nave, F. Sciortino, P. Tartaglia, M. S. Shell, and P. G. Debenedetti, Phys. Rev. E 68, 032103 (2003)] satisfies the second law.
