Thermodynamics
As stated earlier, the entropy generation during the process depends on the change in entropy of the system and change in entropy of the surrounding.
ENTROPY GENERATION As stated earlier, the entropy generation during the process depends on the change in entropy of the system and change in entropy of the surrounding. It is given by Sgen = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurr The change entropy of the system is based on the type of thermodynamic process involved in the system but the entropy of surrounding depends on the amount of waste heat liberated to the atmosphere or sink at a particular temperature. The entropy change on surrounding is calculated by Similar to the principle of increase in entropy, (i) Sgen = 0 for reversible process (ii) Sgen > 0 for irreversible process (iii) Sgen < 0 for impossible process.
