3. ⦿The Entropy is a thermodynamic property of a
working substance and serves as a valuable tool in
the second law analysis of engineering devices.
⦿Entropy is a function of a quantity of heat which
shows the possibility of conversion of that into
work.
⦿Entropy is a thermodynamic property; it can be
viewed as a measure of disorder i.e. More
disorganized a system the higher its entropy.
4. ⦿ The Clausius Theorem is a mathematical
explanation of the Second Law of
Thermodynamics.
⦿ Also referred to as the “Inequality of Clausius”,
the theorem was developed by Rudolf Clausius
who intended to explain the relationship
between the heat flow in a system and the
entropy of the system and its surroundings.
⦿The Clausius Theorem was first published in
1862in Clausius’ sixth memoir, “On the
Application of the Theorem of the Equivalence
of Transformations to Interior Work”.

6. ⦿“ When a system undergoes a complete cyclic
of around the cycle is less
process, the integral
than zero.”
⦿Mathematically : ( ) ≤ 0
⦿δQ is energy flow into the system due to heating
and T being absolute temperature of the body
when that energy is absorbed.
⦿ The following equation must be found true for
any cyclical process that is possible, reversible or
not.
7. ⦿Consider a reversible engine R and irreversible engine I
working between two thermal reservoirs at temperatures TH
and TL.
⦿Efficiency of reversible engine is :
where δQH = heat added, δQL = heat rejected.
⦿Efficiency of irreversible engine is :
⦿We know that efficiency of reversible engine is more than
that of irreversible engine under same temperature limit.
∴ ηR > ηI ∴ ( )R > ( )I
∴ ( )R > ( )I (∵ for reversible engines )
8. ⦿∴ ( ) < ( )I
⦿∴ ( )I < ( )I
⦿∴ ( )I - ( )I < 0
⦿We know that, heat added ( δQH ) should be positive
and heat rejected( δQL ) should be negative.
⦿ ∴ ( )I - (- )I < 0
9. ⦿∴ ( )I + ( )I < 0
⦿ Considering complete original irreversible cycle :
⦿ ∴
⦿ ∴ ∮ ( ) < 0 for an irreversible cycle.
⦿According to Clausius Theorem ∮ = 0 for reversible
cycle.
⦿Combining results for reversible and irreversible cycle,
we get :
This expression is known as
Clausius Inequality.

11. On a T-S diagram, the area under the
process curve represents the heat transfer
for internally reversible processes.
13. Mollier diagram: The h-s diagram
For adiabatic steady-flow devices, the vertical
distance Δh on an h-s diagram is a measure of
work, and the horizontal distance Δs is a
measure of irreversibility's.
