Entropy Change

Theory & Logic

Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Entropy Change (Heat Transfer) is an essential tool for understanding Entropy Change (Heat Transfer) in quantitative terms. Calculate ΔS = Q / T.

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = q ÷ t
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
q Heat Added (Q) J
t Temperature (T) K

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Heat Added (Q) = 55 J
  • Temperature (T) = 5 K

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = 55 ÷ 5
