(S) Entropy is a measure of energy dispersal. Any spontaneous change disperses energy and increases entropy overall. For example, when water evaporates, the internal energy of the water is dispersed with the water vapor produced, corresponding to an increase in entropy.

• (n.) A certain property of a body, expressed as a measurable quantity, such that when there is no communication of heat the quantity remains constant, but when heat enters or leaves the body the quantity increases or diminishes. If a small amount, h, of heat enters the body when its temperature is t in the thermodynamic scale the entropy of ...

A measure of the disorder or unavailability of useful energy within a closed system. More entropy means less energy available for doing work. When a system undergoes a reversible change the entropy changes by an amount equal to the energy transferred to the system by heat divided by the thermodynami...

A measure of the number of possible states a group of 'somethings can occupy' - the more possible ways the group can be arranged, the higher the entropy. For example, there are fewer possible configurations of students in chairs in a room where the chairs are bolted to the floor than where the chairs can be moved around - the room with fewer possib...

(en´tro-pe) in thermodynamics, a measure of the part of the internal energy of a system that is unavailable to do work. In any spontaneous process, such as the flow of heat from a hot region to a cold region, entropy always increases. the tendency of a system to move toward randomness.

1. A measure of the disorder of a system. 2. The thermodynamictendency of a system to reduce its overall energy state by increasing its disorder. Theoretically, an equilibrium is reached where the energy reduction that can be gained by a further increase in entropy is offset by the energy necessary to contain that increase.
