The Conceptual Meaning of Thermodynamic Entropy in the 21st Century1

Frank L. Lambert · International Research Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry · 2011

Although entropy change – the process described by Clausius and characterized as the second law of thermodynamics – involves only two terms, energy change and temperature, neither he nor distinguished scientists of the past century focused on that fact.  The novel word “entropy”...
