Andrew Mason said:It says that entropy is a measure of the energy that is not available for useful work. That is not correct. These examples will show what I mean:
While I agree with AM, I found this reference which supposedly defends the idea that entropy is a measure of energy unavailable for work:
T. V. Marcella, ‘‘Entropy production and the second law of thermodynamics:
An introduction to second law analysis,’’ Am. J. Phys. 60, 888–895, 1992
I cannot access it, if anyone can, I would be interested in what it says.
