Entropy

For identical spheres all microstates are equally probable

), see the tombstone:

For a free expansion of 100 molecules

Entropy is growing for irreversible processes in isolated systems

Entropy

Entropy , loosely defined, is a measure of disorder the system in

Entropy is related to another fundamental concept – information . Alternative definition of irreversible processes – processes involving erasure of information

Entropy cannot noticeably decrease in isolated systems

Entropy has a tendency to increase in open systems

Entropy in open systems

In open systems entropy can decrease :

Chemical reactions

Molecular self-assembly

Creation of information

Entropy in thermodynamics

In thermodynamics, entropy for open systems is

For isothermal process, the change in entropy:

The second law of thermodynamics

In closed systems , the entropy increases for irreversible processes and remains constant for reversible processes

S

 0 •

In real (not idealized) closed systems the process are always irreversible to some extent because of friction, turbulence, etc.

Most real systems are open since it is difficult to create a perfect insulation

Engines

In an ideal engine , all processes are reversible and no wasteful energy transfers occur due to friction, turbulence, etc.

No perfect engine is possible in which a heat from a thermal reservoir will be completely converted to work

Gasoline engine

Another example of an efficient engine is a gasoline engine :

Chapter 12 Problem 31 In one cycle, a heat engine absorbs 500 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 300 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If the efficiency of this engine is 60% of the efficiency of a Carnot engine, what is the ratio of the low temperature to the high temperature in the Carnot engine?

Heat pumps (refrigerators)

In an ideal refrigerator , all processes are reversible and no wasteful energy transfers occur due to friction, turbulence, etc.
