Entropy (S)

➢ a measure of how much energy is

not available to do work
➢ a measure of its disorder
2 nd Law of Thermodynamics
(Kelvin-Planck Statement)

“It is impossible to construct a

device which operates on a
cycle and produces no other
effect than the production of
work and the transfer of heat
from a single body”.
2 nd Law of Thermodynamics
(Clausius Statement)
“It is impossible to construct
a device which operates on a
cycle and whose sole effect
is the transfer of heat from a
cooler body to a hotter
body”.
2 nd Law of Thermodynamics
(Entropy & Second Law of Thermodynamics)
states that the state of entropy of the entire
universe, as an isolated system, will always
increase over time. It also states that the
changes in the entropy in the universe can
never be negative.
