... that both work and heat are energy in transit, and internal energy is stored in the system. The concept of entropy emerges from the second law of thermodynamics. While entropy is not a directly measurable quantity, the change in entropy can be worked out from property relations. A reversible process...

...Haidong Liu; Uichiro Narusawa Effects of hydrodynamic shear on the shape of the endothelial surface are examined based on evaluations of the rate of entropy generation at the cell surface. A linear solution of the flow over a sinusoidally varying endothelial surface is used to evaluate the entropy...
