hi to everybody out there,
entropy as i know of now is associated with heat which is basically energy in transit(for a rev. process it is indicative of unavailable part of energy) having said that what is meant by entropy change for a system as heat flows into or out of it(for instance consider a thermal reservoir if Q heat leaves the reservoir at constant temp T the change in entropy for the reservoir is Q/T what is the meaning of this in terms of heat that has left the reservoir and why is it called the entropy change for "reservoir".
