    Tomines' Group - What Is Entropy

    Uploaded by

    ProfED TV
    Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity that represents the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work. It describes the degree of disorder or randomness in a system. Entropy increases as a system or process becomes less organized and more disordered over time based on the second law of thermodynamics. Examples provided demonstrate how entropy increases as heat transfers from hotter to colder regions and gases disperse from high to low pressure areas spontaneously, but the reverse processes do not occur naturally.

    ENTROPY

    WHAT IS ENTROPY (S)?
    • A thermodynamic quantity representing the
    unavailability of a system’s thermal energy for
    conversion into mechanical work, often
    interpreted as the degree of disorder or
    randomness in the system.
    • Lack of order or predictability; gradual decline
    into disorder.

    • It is a quantity that is generally used to describe the
    course of a process, that is, whether it is a spontaneous
    process and has a probability of occurring in a defined
    direction, or a non-spontaneous process and will not
    proceed in the defined direction, but in the reverse
    direction.
    • Entropy can be thought of as a measurement of the
    energy spread.
    • The SI unit of entropy is joules per Kelvin (J/K).

    Entropy change examples:
    ▷ Molecules of gas at high pressure always spread
    to lower pressure regions.
    ▷ Gas in balloon spreads out into room and deflates
    but never see balloon spontaneous fill with air.
    ▷ Heat always goes from high temperature into
    cooler regions.
    ▷ Hot coffee in a room gets cooler and the heat
    spreads out into the room, but never sees a cold
    cup of coffee spontaneously warm up.
