Second Law of Thermodynamics
Mechanical Engineering · University of Applied Sciences · Thermodynamics
This unit explores the Second Law of Thermodynamics, introducing the concept of entropy as a measure of disorder and examining its role in determining the direction of spontaneous processes. Students will gain an understanding of irreversibility and the limitations it imposes on energy conversion and utilization.
