What is the equation for entropy in thermodynamics?
What is the equation for entropy in thermodynamics?
The equation for entropy in thermodynamics is $S = k_{B} \ln \Omega$, where $k_{B}$ is the Boltzmann constant, and $\Omega$ denotes the volume of macrostate in the phase space or otherwise called thermodynamic probability.
What is the first law of thermodynamics for quasi-static and reversible processes?
What is the first law of thermodynamics for quasi-static and reversible processes?
The first law of thermodynamics for quasi-static and reversible processes is $dU = \delta Q - \delta W$, where $\delta Q$ is the heat supplied to the system and $\delta W$ is the work done by the system.
What is the equation for entropy change in reversible processes?
What is the equation for entropy change in reversible processes?
The equation for entropy change in reversible processes is $dS = \frac{\delta Q}{T}$.
