In
thermodynamics,
entropy (usual symbol
S) is a measure of the number of specific realizations or microstates that may realize a
thermodynamic system in a defined state specified by macroscopic variables. Entropy is commonly understood as a measure of molecular
disorder within a macroscopic system. According to the
second law of thermodynamics the entropy of an
isolated system never decreases. Such a system spontaneously evolves towards thermodynamic equilibrium, the state with
maximum entropy. Systems that are not isolated may decrease in entropy, provided they increase the entropy of their environment by at least that same amount. Since entropy is a
state function, the change in the entropy of a system is the same for any process that goes from a given initial state to a given final state, whether the process is
reversible or
irreversible. However, irreversible processes increase the combined entropy of the system and its environment.
entropy
Noun
1. (communication theory) a numerical measure of the uncertainty of an outcome; "the signal contained thousands of bits of information"
(synonym) information, selective information
(hypernym) information measure
(classification) communications, communication theory
2. (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing mechanical work; "entropy increases as matter and energy in the universe degrade to an ultimate state of inert uniformity"
(synonym) randomness, S
(hypernym) physical property
(hyponym) conformational entropy
(classification) thermodynamics
Entropy
(n.)
A certain property of a body, expressed as a measurable quantity, such that when there is no communication of heat the quantity remains constant, but when heat enters or leaves the body the quantity increases or diminishes. If a small amount, h, of heat enters the body when its temperature is t in the thermodynamic scale the entropy of the body is increased by h / t. The entropy is regarded as measured from some standard temperature and pressure. Sometimes called the thermodynamic function.
