THERMODYNAMICS

Reversible heat and entropy change

defines the change of state quantity entropy with reversible path heat exchange.

dS=δQrevTdS=\frac{\delta Q_{\mathrm{rev}}}{T}

symbols, variables and units

S: entropy (J/K); Q_rev: reversible heat (J); T: K.

applicable conditions and boundaries

Only reversible paths can be directly equal; irreversible processes need to account for entropy generation.
