SOME INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS<br />
Earlier, second law of thermodynamics and<br />
applied it to cycles and cyclic devices. Here, we<br />
apply the second law to processes.<br />
The first law of thermodynamics deals with the<br />
property energy and the conservation of it. The<br />
second law leads to the definition of a new<br />
property called entropy.<br />
Entropy is a somewhat abstract property and it is<br />
difficult to give a physical description of it without<br />
considering the microscopic state of the system.<br />
