Delta-S for a Reversible, Isothermal Process

Integral form of the definition of

entropy

:
Equation.
On page 4 of Lesson 7B, we showed that for

internally reversible

,

isothermal

processes:
Equation.
PV diagram showing the change in enrtopy for an isothermal process that proceeds from state 1 to state 2.

Internally reversible

process from state 1 to state 2.
This equation is most commonly used to determine the change in

entropy

of a

thermal reservoir

.
The main objective of this lesson is to learn how to evaluate ΔS for processes that are not

isothermal
