| Description | What is the physical meaning of entropy? The introduction of entropy may seem somewhat abstract, and some discussion of its properties should help to put it into perspective. Three points deserve emphasis: In an irreversible process, the entropy change of the universe is always positive, while in a reversible process, the entropy change of the universe is zero. The entropy of the universe never decreases. From a molecular point of view, an increase in entropy corresponds to an increase in randomness. From a practical point of view, the reversible heat transfer is directly related to the entropy change, đQ$ _{rev}$ = TdS. Book Name: The Newman Lectures on Thermodynamics |
