Thermodynamic entropy

Residual entropy

Residual entropy is the difference in entropy between a non-equilibrium state and crystal state of a substance close to absolute zero. This term is used in condensed matter physics to describe the entropy at zero kelvin of a glass or plastic crystal referred to the crystal state, whose entropy is zero according to the third law of thermodynamics. It occurs if a material can exist in many different states when cooled. The most common non-equilibrium state is vitreous state, glass. A common example is the case of carbon monoxide, which has a very small dipole moment. As the carbon monoxide crystal is cooled to absolute zero, few of the carbon monoxide molecules have enough time to align themselves into a perfect crystal, (with all of the carbon monoxide molecules oriented in the same direction). Because of this, the crystal is locked into a state with different corresponding microstates, giving a residual entropy of , rather than zero. Another example is any amorphous solid (glass). These have residual entropy, because the atom-by-atom microscopic structure can be arranged in a huge number of different ways across a macroscopic system. (Wikipedia).

Entropy production during free expansion of an ideal gas by Subhadip Chakraborti

Abstract: According to the second law, the entropy of an isolated system increases during its evolution from one equilibrium state to another. The free expansion of a gas, on removal of a partition in a box, is an example where we expect to see such an increase of entropy. The constructi

Teach Astronomy - Entropy of the Universe

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The entropy of the universe is a measure of its disorder or chaos. If the laws of thermodynamics apply to the universe as a whole as they do to individual objects or systems within the universe, then the fate of the universe must be to increase in entropy.

Entropy is NOT About Disorder

Entropy is often taught as a measure of how disordered or how mixed up a system is, but this definition never really sat right with me. How is "disorder" defined and why is one way of arranging things any more disordered than another? It wasn't until much later in my physics career that I
