  2. Entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

    The Boltzmann constant, and therefore entropy, have dimensions of energy divided by temperature, which has a unit of joules per kelvin (J⋅K −1) in the International System of Units (or kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2 ⋅K −1 in terms of base units). The entropy of a substance is usually given as an intensive property — either entropy per unit mass ...

    Entropy equivalent of one bit of information, equal to k times ln(2) [1] 10 −23: 1.381 × 10 −23 J⋅K −1: Boltzmann constant, entropy equivalent of one nat of information. 10 1: 5.74 J⋅K −1: Standard entropy of 1 mole of graphite [2] 10 33: ≈ 10 35 J⋅K −1: Entropy of the Sun (given as ≈ 10 42 erg⋅K −1 in Bekenstein (1973 ...

  4. Standard molar entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_molar_entropy

    The standard molar entropy at pressure = is usually given the symbol S°, and has units of joules per mole per kelvin (J⋅mol −1 ⋅K −1). Unlike standard enthalpies of formation, the value of S° is absolute. That is, an element in its standard state has a definite, nonzero value of S at room temperature.

  5. Entropy unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_unit

    The entropy unit is a non-S.I. unit of thermodynamic entropy, usually denoted by "e.u." or "eU" and equal to one calorie per kelvin per mole, or 4.184 joules per kelvin per mole. [1] Entropy units are primarily used in chemistry to describe enthalpy changes.

    The change in entropy (ΔS°) at the normal phase transition temperature is equal to the heat of transition divided by the transition temperature. The SI units for entropy are J/(mol·K). Absolute entropy of strontium. The solid line refers to the entropy of strontium in its normal standard state at 1 atm pressure.

    The Mollier enthalpy–entropy diagram for water and steam. The "dryness fraction", x , gives the fraction by mass of gaseous water in the wet region, the remainder being droplets of liquid. An enthalpy–entropy chart , also known as the H – S chart or Mollier diagram , plots the total heat against entropy, [ 1 ] describing the enthalpy of a ...

    Description: Blue lines indicate vapor quality, mass percentage in the saturated mixture that is in gas phase . Black lines indicate pressure in pounds per square inch . Grey lines indicate specific volume in square feet per pound-mass of steam

  9. Introduction to entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_entropy

    When measuring entropy using the natural logarithm (ln), the unit of information entropy is called a "nat", but when it is measured using the base-2 logarithm, the unit of information entropy is called a "shannon" (alternatively, "bit"). This is just a difference in units, much like the difference between inches and centimeters.
