Thermodynamic Laws

  • Energy is neither created nor destroyed
  • Entropy of the Universe is ever increasing
  • Evolution works with most sustainable efficiency (not always maximum)

Entropy Supply and Entropy Production

-dS=di(S)+de(S)

  • Total Entropy change is equal to the algebreic sum of internal and extrenal entropy changes
