is highly irreversible since this generates entropy, and it can cause consider-
able damage. A person who gets up in anger is bound to sit down at a loss.
Hopefully, someday we will be able to come up with some procedures to
quantify entropy generated during nontechnical activities, and maybe even
pinpoint its primary sources and magnitude.
7–7 ■ THE T ds RELATIONS
Recall that the quantity (dQ/T)int revcorresponds to a differential change in
the property entropy. The entropy change for a process, then, can be evalu-
ated by integrating dQ/Talong some imaginary internally reversible path
between the actual end states. For isothermal internally reversible processes,
this integration is straightforward. But when the temperature varies during
the process, we have to have a relation between dQand Tto perform this
integration. Finding such relations is what we intend to do in this section.
The differential form of the conservation of energy equation for a closed
stationary system (a fixed mass) containing a simple compressible substance
can be expressed for an internally reversible process as
(7–21)
But
Thus,
(7–22)
or
(7–23)
This equation is known as the first T ds, or Gibbs,equation. Notice that the
only type of work interaction a simple compressible system may involve as
it undergoes an internally reversible process is the boundary work.
The second T dsequation is obtained by eliminating dufrom Eq. 7–23 by
using the definition of enthalpy (huPv):
(7–24)
Equations 7–23 and 7–24 are extremely valuable since they relate entropy
changes of a system to the changes in other properties. Unlike Eq. 7–4, they
are property relations and therefore are independent of the type of the
processes.
These T dsrelations are developed with an internally reversible process in
mind since the entropy change between two states must be evaluated along
a reversible path. However, the results obtained are valid for both reversible
and irreversible processes since entropy is a property and the change in a
property between two states is independent of the type of process the sys-
tem undergoes. Equations 7–23 and 7–24 are relations between the proper-
ties of a unit mass of a simple compressible system as it undergoes a change
of state, and they are applicable whether the change occurs in a closed or an
open system (Fig. 7–28).
