This lecture covers the second principle of thermodynamics, focusing on entropy as an extensive state function. It explains the conditions of evolution and equilibrium for isolated and adiabatically closed systems, emphasizing the non-decreasing nature of entropy over time. The lecture also delves into the balance equation for entropy, internal production of entropy, reversible and irreversible processes, and entropy transfer within systems.
