Great stuff, write a book and let’s talk about the future! Scott Werner says May 27, at pm. Have to second what Kevin Simler said above. This was great, but was way too short!

3. Sep 17,  · If China loses a future war, entropy could be imminent. Winston Churchill knew after Nazi Germany declared war on the United States in December that the Allies would prevail and win the war. Nazi Germany did not have the gross domestic product or manpower to sustain the war on two fronts, but the Nazis did not care because they were Author: Jan Kallberg.

6. The condition ΔS ≥ 0 determines the maximum possible efficiency of heat engines—that is, systems such as gasoline or steam engines that can do work in a cyclic fashion. Suppose a heat engine absorbs heat Q 1 from R 1 and exhausts heat Q 2 to R 2 for each complete cycle. By conservation of energy, the work done per cycle is W = Q 1 – Q 2, and the net entropy change is To make W as large.

7. In statistical mechanics, entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic sorppidprenvergforworl.jesdoctchicwhaniltesthapsringgaselbreli.co quantifies the number Ω of microscopic configurations (known as microstates) that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system (such as its volume, pressure and temperature). Under the assumption that each microstate is equally probable, the entropy is the natural logarithm.

8. Entropy definition is - a measure of the unavailable energy in a closed thermodynamic system that is also usually considered to be a measure of the system's disorder, that is a property of the system's state, and that varies directly with any reversible change in heat in the system and inversely with the temperature of the system; broadly: the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system.

9. Sep 05,  · Liquids have higher entropy than solids, and gases have higher entropy than liquids, and the universe is constantly becoming more chaotic over time. Mathematician James R. Newman called this "the general trend of the universe toward death and disorder, " while physicist Arthur Eddington coined the rather poetic term " the arrow of time.".
