Module 9
Entropy: A Measure of Possibility
Entropy: A Measure of Disorder
Explain entropy intuitively as a measure of energy dispersal or microscopic disorder.
2
Entropy Change in Reversible Processes
Define entropy change mathematically for a reversible process (dS = (δQ/T)_rev).
3
Entropy and Irreversibility: The Second Law
State the increase of entropy principle (S_gen ≥ 0) and explain its connection to process irreversibility.
4
Entropy Change Calculation Using Property Tables
Calculate the entropy change of a pure substance during a process using property tables.
5
Entropy Changes in Ideal Gas Processes
Calculate the entropy change of an ideal gas undergoing various processes.
6
T-S Diagrams: Sketching and Interpreting
Sketch and interpret Temperature-Entropy (T-S) diagrams for thermodynamic processes and cycles.
