  2. Entropy changes in reversible processes Various cases: • Adiabatic process:đqr = 0, ds = 0, s = constant. A reversible adiabatic process is isentropic. THIS IS NOT TRUE FOR AN IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS! • Isothermal process:

  3. Entropy changes in reversible processes Various cases: • Isothermal: ideal gas case (du = 0; đq = -đw; Pv = RT)

  4. Entropy changes in reversible processes Various cases: • Isochoric process: We assume u = u(v,T) in general, so that u = u(T) in an isochoric process. Therefore, as in the case for an ideal gas, du = cvdT. Thus, provided cv is independent of T over the integration (really only true for ideal gas, but often good approx.).

  5. What about reversible paths? P DS > 0 (1) • Isobaric (P = const) • Isothermal (PV = const) • Adiabatic (PVg = const) • Isochoric (V = const) (2) (3) (4) DS = 0 DS < 0 V • For a given reversible path, there is some associated physics.

  6. The combined 1st and 2nd Laws The 2nd law need not be restricted to reversible processes: • đQ is identifiable with TdS, as is đW with PdV, but only for reversible processes. • However, the last equation is valid quite generally, even for irreversible processes, albeit that the correspondence between đQ & TdS, and đW & PdV, is lost in this case.

  11. Entropy of mixing Definition of partial pressure Pj of a constituent in a mixture: Here, P is the pressure of the mixture, and xj is the kilomole fraction of the jth constituent gas: final state f initial state i n1 T, P n2 T, P n = n1 + n2 T, P = P1 + P2

  12. Entropy of mixing final state f initial state i n1 T, P n2 T, P n = n1 + n2 T, P = P1 + P2 P is the pressure of the mixture; Pj is the partial pressure and xj the kilomole fraction of the jth constituent gas, where Then,
