eventually ending up as thermal energy.Please read our guidelines and FAQ before posting The energy in a sense is degraded, going from more orderly form to less orderly form. Therefore an increase in entropy means the degradation of energy from a higher level where more work can be extracted to a lower level at which less or no useful work can be done. There has been no loss of energy but some of the energy is no longer available for conversion into work. Then warm water in which results cannot be separated into a hot layer and a cold layer.

For example, there is an increase in entropy when hot and cold water is mixed.

Entropy examplesД®very time entropy increases, the opportunity to convert some heat into work is lost. The process for which entropy remains constant is a reversible process whereas for all irreversible processes, the entropy of all systems increases. We can conclude that only those processes are probable for which entropy of the system increases or remains constant. Thus in both examples, entropy is said to be increased.

Similarly, free expansion of gas increases its disorder because the molecules have greater randomness of position after expansion than before. The addition of heat to a system increases its disorder because of the increase in average molecular speed and therefore, the randomness of molecular motion. This order is lost when the system comes to thermal equilibrium. For example, an irreversible heat flow from a hot to a cold substance of a system increases disorder because the molecules are initially sorted out in hotter and cooler regions. Thus, there is a relation between entropy and molecular disorder. It is observed that a natural process tends to proceed towards a state of greater disorder.

вЂњIf a system undergoes a natural process, it will go in the direction that causes the entropy of the system plus the environment to increase.вЂќ This is another statement of 2 ndВ law of thermodynamics. It follows that in all-natural processes where hear flows from one system to another, there is always a net increase in entropy. As T 1В > TВ 2 so Q/T will be greater than Q/T 1 i.e. The change in entropy of the reservoir, at temperature T 1В which loses heat, decrease by Q/T 1В and of the reservoir at temperature T 2В , which gains heat, increases by Q/TВ 2. Suppose, an amount of heat Q flow from a reservoir at temperature T 1В a conducting rod to a reservoir at temperature T 2 when T 1>T 2.

Like potential energy or internal energy, it is the change in entropy of the system which is important.Д¬hange in entropy is positive when the heat is added and negative when the heat is removed from the system.
