Background: Clausius and Entropy
In the previous lesson, we learned about
entropy
, where to find entropy data (NIST WebBook) andTS
andHS Phase Diagrams
.In this lesson, we will use the
Clausius Inequality
and the definition of entropy to defineentropy generation
.Clausius Inequality
:


Integral form of the definition of
entropy
:

Path A is irreversible and
path B is internally reversible.
