7–13 ■ ENTROPY BALANCE
The property entropyis a measure of molecular disorder or randomness of
a system, and the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy can
be created but it cannot be destroyed. Therefore, the entropy change of
a system during a process is greater than the entropy transfer by an
amount equal to the entropy generated during the process within the system,
and the increase of entropy principlefor any system is expressed as
(Fig. 7–57)
or
(7–68)
which is a verbal statement of Eq. 7–9. This relation is often referred to as
the entropy balance and is applicable to any system undergoing any
process. The entropy balance relation above can be stated as:the entropy
change of a system during a process is equal to the net entropy transfer
through the system boundary and the entropy generated within the system.
Next we discuss the various terms in that relation.

(b) The actual exit temperature of the air is higher than the isentropic exit
temperature evaluated above and is determined from
or
That is, the temperature is 16 K higher at the exit of the actual nozzle as a
result of irreversibilities such as friction. It represents a loss since this rise in
temperature comes at the expense of kinetic energy (Fig. 7–56).
(c) The actual exit velocity of air can be determined from the definition of
isentropic efficiency of a nozzle,
