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 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
