Is the entropy change of the ideal gas equals zero?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the entropy change of an ideal gas, questioning whether it equals zero or can be calculated using the formula "Q/T," with specific values provided (Q=200kJ, T=313K). Participants express confusion about thermodynamic principles, particularly regarding entropy. The thread highlights the need for clarification on these concepts, especially for students struggling with thermodynamics. The conversation also notes a perceived imbalance between novice questions and expert responses in the forum. Overall, the inquiry seeks guidance on understanding entropy changes in ideal gases.

Hi all!
I'm a bit puzzled about this question.
Is the entropy change of the ideal gas equals zero?
And for the second part, is it equal to "Q/T" where Q=200kJ and T=40+273?
I'm not sure about how to handle it...please help.

Sorry mate, I failed thermo last semester. :D
Passing it this year though!

It does seem like this forum has too many novices for the experts to handle.
 
I've moved this thread to the college homework zone.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
