Entropy Change in Normal Shock Wave Formulas

Entropy Change of the system for an irreversible path is the same as for a reversible path between the same two states. And is denoted by ΔS. Entropy Change is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram K for Specific Entropy. Note that the value of Entropy Change is always negative.

FAQ

What is the Entropy Change?

Entropy Change of the system for an irreversible path is the same as for a reversible path between the same two states. Entropy Change is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram K for Specific Entropy. Note that the value of Entropy Change is always negative.

Can the Entropy Change be negative?

Yes, the Entropy Change, measured in Specific Entropy can be negative.

What unit is used to measure Entropy Change?

Entropy Change is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram K[J/kg*K] for Specific Entropy. Calorie per Gram per Celcius[J/kg*K], Joule per Kilogram per Celcius[J/kg*K], Kilojoule per Kilogram per Celcius[J/kg*K] are the few other units in which Entropy Change can be measured.
