Entropy

Learning Objectives


I.

Apply the second law to processes.

II.

Define a new property called entropy as it applies to commonly encountered engineering processes.

III.

Discuss the Clausius inequality, which forms the basis for the definition of entropy.

IV.

Explain the increase of entropy principle.

V.

Calculate the entropy changes that take place during processes for pure substances, incompressible substances, and ideal gases.

VI.

Examine a special class of idealized processes, called isentropic processes and develop the property relations for these processes.

VII.

Derive the reversible steady-flow work relations.

VIII.

Develop the isentropic, or adiabatic, efficiencies of various steady-flow engineering devices and apply the definitions to turbines, compressors, and nozzles.

IX.

Introduce and apply the entropy balance to various systems.
