We review the existing phenomenological theories of emittance growth with and without entropy terms and re-examine the condition for thermal equipartitioning in an unbunched charged-particle beam. The model incorporates linear space charge and a uniform-focusing lattice. Because of non-extensitivity of the transverse ("thermal") energy and the absence of a classical heat bath, we conclude that a rigorous classical thermodynamics treatment of charged-particle beams is not possible. In particular, the postulated relationships between the rms emittance and temperature and entropy must be qualified.
