Entropy is a measure of irreversibility or disorderness of a
system. All actual thermodynamic processes are irreversible
and their amount of irreversibility is measured by change in
entropy.

what is the practical use of ENTROPY?..

Answer / ak

Entropy is always associated with heat transfer between 2 bodies....it is ratio of heat transfer and temp....so if a body is rejecting heat its entropy is decreasing and if a body is gaining heat then its entropy is increasing...

what is the practical use of ENTROPY?..

Answer / vny

actually entropy doesn't have any significance, we always defined change in entropy of a substance.. entropy generally defines the amount of internal energy gain or heated by the source on increasing temperature...
it is a state function i.e. its only depend on the intial and final postion of the body...

ex. heating or cooling of matter
