Entropy
Entropy
❑ If a system is taken through a cycle and produces work, it must be exchanging heat
with at least two reservoirs at 2 different temperatures.
❑ If a system is taken through a cycle while exchanging heat with a single reservoir, work
must be zero or negative.
❑ Heat can never be converted continuously and completely into work, but work can
always be converted continuously and completely into heat.
❖ So, the area underneath the path does not represent work and heat on the P − v and T −
s diagrams, respectively.
❖ In irreversible processes, the exact states through which a system undergoes are not
defined. So, irreversible processes are shown as dashed lines and reversible processes as
solid lines.
Entropy Generation
❑ The entropy of a system can increase in only two ways, either by heat addition or by the
presence of irreversibility.
❑ All isentropic processes are not necessarily reversible and adiabatic. Entropy can remain
constant during a process if the heat removal balances the irreversibility
Example Problem
❑ Water initially a saturated liquid at 150˚C is contained within a piston–cylinder
assembly. The water undergoes a process to the corresponding saturated vapor state,
during which the piston moves freely in the cylinder. There is no heat transfer with the
surroundings. If the change of state is brought about by the action of a paddle wheel,
determine the net work per unit mass, in kJ/kg, and the amount of entropy produced
per unit mass, in kJ/kgK.
Principle of Increase of Entropy
Example Problem
❑ Suppose that 1 kg of saturated water vapor at 100˚C is to a saturated liquid at 100˚C in a
constant-pressure process by heat transfer to the surrounding air, which is at 25˚C.
What is the net increase in entropy of the water plus surroundings?

Entropy of Ideal Gas
Isentropic Process: s = constant ⇒ ∆s = 0
Example Problem
❑ Air is compressed in a car engine from 22˚C and 95 kPa in a reversible and adiabatic
manner. If the compression ratio, rc = V1 / V2 of this engine is 8, determine the final
temperature of the air.
Example Problem
❑ Determine the change in specific entropy, in KJ/kg-K, of air as an ideal gas undergoing a
process from 300 K, 1 bar to 400 K, 5 bar. Because of the relatively small temperature
range, we assume a constant value of cP = 1.008 KJ/kg-K.
Example Problem
❑ Air is contained in one half of an insulated tank. The other side is completely evacuated.
The membrane is punctured and air quickly fills the entire volume. Calculate the
specific entropy change of the isolated system.
