7.1 INTRODUCTION<br />

In this chapter, we introduce the second law of thermodynamics and an important new thermodynamic<br />

property called entropy. The theory is presented first then applied to a variety of closed and open systems of<br />

engineering interest in the following chapters.<br />

The details of the second law of thermodynamics and its associated entropy balance are presented, along with a<br />

detailed discussion of the entropy transport mechanisms associated with the energy transports of heat and work.<br />

Unlike mass, energy, and momentum, entropy is not conserved. Consequently, the mechanisms of entropy<br />

production must be well understood to produce an effective entropy balance equation.<br />

In Chapter 8, the focus is on applying the theory presented in this chapter to the same steady state closed<br />

systems considered in Chapter 5. The second law of thermodynamics is expanded in Chapter 9 to cover open<br />
