Abstract
We present here a thermodynamical analysis of the properties of the recently proposed probabilistic fluid model of Cavalleri and the way it leads to Schrodinger's equation in the contex of Stochastic Electrodynamics (SED). The assumptions required for the derivation are clearly stated and physically justified in the sense of thermodynamics. No rigorous proof, in the context of SED, of Schrodinger's equation is accomplished yet, since the statistical connection between the required assumptions and SED is not rigorously established. The analysis also touches on previous probabilistic fluid analogies not based on SED due to Santos, Nelson and others. The analysis finally shows the close underlying relationship between SED and ordinary quantum theory.
