Entropy Calculator
The Entropy Calculator will calculate the:
- Change in the entropy of a thermodynamic system in terms of heat exchanged and temperature of system
- Change in the entropy of a system in terms of gas parameters and molar specific heats
Note: Write the ΔQ value as negative when the system releases heat to its surroundings.
The change in the entropy of a thermodynamic system in terms of heat exchanged and temperature of system is:
|
| The change in the entropy of a thermodynamic system in terms of volume, temperature and molar specific heat at constant volume J/K |
| The change in the entropy of a thermodynamic system in terms of pressure, temperature and molar specific heat at constant pressure J/K |
| Change in entropy of system in terms of heat and temperature calculations |
