Description

This lecture covers the concept of entropy, distinguishing between transformations with zero internal entropy creation and those with positive internal entropy. It explains isentropic transformations and the Clausius and Kelvin prohibitions. The Carnot cycle and the maximum efficiency of machines with two heat sources are also discussed, along with the calculation of entropy variations in reversible and irreversible transformations of ideal gases.
