Entropy
What Is Entropy? measurable physical property that is
most commonly associated with a state
of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty.
Formal definition of
entropy
*This equation is particularly useful for determining the entropy changes of thermal energy reservoirs.

The Increase Of Entropy Principle
or
7
Remarks about Entropy
1. Processes can occur in a certain direction only, not in any direction.
A process must proceed in the direction that complies with the
increase of entropy principle, that is, Sgen ≥ 0. A process that violates
this principle is impossible.
2. Entropy is a non-conserved property, and there is no such thing as
the conservation of entropy principle. Entropy is conserved during
the idealized reversible processes only and increases during all
actual processes.
3. The performance of engineering systems is degraded by the
presence of irreversibilities, and entropy generation is a measure of
the magnitudes of the irreversibilities during that process.

Entropy Change Of Pure Substances

Example: Constant V Process
Solution:
A rigid tank contains 5 kg
of refrigerant-134a initially
at 20C and 140 kPa. The
refrigerant is now cooled
while being stirred until its
pressure drops to 100
kPa. Determine the
entropy change of the
refrigerant during this
process.

Example: Constant P Process
Solution:
A piston–cylinder device
initially contains 3 lbm of
liquid water at 20 psia and
70F. The water is now
heated at constant
pressure by the addition
of 3450 Btu of heat.
Determine the entropy
change of the water
during this process.

Isentropic Processes
A process during which the entropy remains constant is called an
isentropic process (Adiabatic reversible process)
Q=0
12
Example Solution:
Steam enters an adiabatic
turbine at 5 MPa and 450C
and leaves at a pressure of
1.4 MPa. Determine the
work output of the turbine
per unit mass of steam if
the process is reversible.
