Subsection 0.6.1 Entropy in Thermodynamics

Definition 0.6.1 Clausius Entropy.

The Clausius entropy is a change in the entropy of a system due to some reversible process where it absorbs some amount of heat \(Q_\text{in}\) at a constant temperature \(T\text{:}\)
\begin{equation*} \Delta S_\text{system} := \int_\text{rev}{\frac{d \, Q_\text{in}}{T}} . \end{equation*}
