2. Entropy:- The Entropy is a thermodynamic property of a working
substance and serves as a valuable tool in the second law
analysis of engineering devices.
• Entropy is afunction of a quantity of heat which shows the
possibility of conversoin of that into work.
• Entropy is a thermodynamic property; it can be viewed as a
measure of disorder i.e. More disorganized a system the higher
its entropy.
6. • Entropy is a thermodynamic property; it can be viewed as a
measure of disorder. i.e. More disorganized a system the
higher its entropy. Defined using Clausius inequality
• where Q is the differential heat transfer & T is the absolute
• temperature at the boundary where the heat transfer occurs

• Clausius inequality is valid for all cycles,
reversible and irreversible.
• Consider a reversible Carnot cycle:
8. • Since entropy is a thermodynamic property, it has
fixed values at a fixed thermodynamic states.
Hence, the change, S, is determined by the initial
and final state. BUT..
• The change is = only for a Reversible Process

But in irreversible ones the entropy may change

Entropy Generation
The principle states that for an isolated Or a closed adiabatic Or
System + Surroundings.A process can only take place such that Sgen 0
where Sge = 0 for a reversible process only
And Sge can never be les than zero.
Increase of Entropy Principle
15. • Entropy, unlike energy, is non-conservative since it is always
increasing.
• The entropy of the universe is continuously increasing, in
other words, it is becoming disorganized and is
approaching chaotic.
• The entropy generation is due to the presence of
irreversibilities. Therefore, the higher the entropy generation
the higher the irreversibilities and, accordingly, the lower the
efficiency of a device since a reversible system is the most
efficient system.
• The above is another statement of the second law
16. Third law of Thermodynamics
• The Third Law of Thermodynamics was first
formulated by German chemist and physicist
Walther Nernst.
• The Third Law states, “The entropy of a
perfect crystal is zero when the temperature of
the crystal is equal to absolute zero (0 K).”
17. Applications of Third law of
Thermodynamics
• Provides an absolute reference point for the
determination of entropy.
• Explaining the behavior of solids at very low
temprature.
• Measurement of action of chemical forces of the
reacting substances.
• Analysing the chemical and Phase Equilibrium.
