35History of entropy — The concept of entropy developed in response to the observation that a certain amount of functional energy released from combustion reactions is always lost to dissipation or friction and is thus not transformed into useful work . Early heat… …
36H-theorem — In thermodynamics, the H theorem, introduced by Boltzmann in 1872, describes the increase in the entropy of an ideal gas in an irreversible process, by considering the Boltzmann equation.It appears to predict an irreversible increase in entropy,… …
37Second law of thermodynamics — The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the universal law of increasing entropy, stating that the entropy of an isolated system which is not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at… …
