The Variations of Entropy For a Perfect Gas,

$$\delta \Phi = \frac{dq}{T}\;for\;a\;reversible\;operation$$

$$\delta \Phi \;T = \delta\,q$$
(2)

At Constant Volume:-

$$\delta \Phi = \frac{w\,C_V\,dt}{T}$$
(3)
$$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi _1 = \int_{T_1}^{T_2}\frac{w\;C_V\,dt}{T}$$
(4)
$$= wC_V\;Ln\frac{T_2}{T_1}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;w\;C_V\;ln\frac{P_2}{P_1}$$
(5)

At Constant Pressure:-

$$\delta \Phi = \frac{w\;C_P\;dt}{T}$$
(6)
$$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi _1 = \int_{T_1}^{T_2}\;\frac{w\;C_P\;dt}{T}$$
(7)
$$= w\;C_P\;Ln\frac{T_2}{T_1}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;w\;C_P\;Ln\frac{V_2}{V_1}$$
(8)

For an Isothermal Operation:-

$$Heat\;Supplied = Work\;Done + \delta\,U\,( Constant)$$
(9)
$$= P\;\delta \,V$$
(10)
$$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\delta \Phi = \frac{p\delta V}{T} = w\;R\;\frac{dv}{V}$$
(11)
$$Thus\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi_1 = w\,R\,Ln\frac{V_2}{V_1}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;w\,R\,Ln\frac{P_1}{P_2}$$
(12)

Entropy for an irreversible Operation

Consider a gas changing from $P_1V_1T_1$ to $P_2V_2T_2$. The Function of State depends upon the values of P,V,&T at 1 & 2, and it is independent of the process.

Stage 1

$$\Phi _a - \Phi _1 = wC_V\;Ln\;\frac{T_a}{T_1}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;wC_V\;Ln\;\frac{P_2}{P_1}$$
(13)
$$\Phi _2 - \Phi _a = wC_P\;Ln\;\frac{T_2}{T_a}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;wC_P\;Ln\;\frac{V_2}{V_1}$$
(14)
$$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi _1 = w\left( C_V\;Ln\;\frac{P_2}{P_1} + C_P\;Ln\;\frac{V_2}{V_1} \right)$$

Sketching Operations on P.V. and T. Phi graphs

NOTE

The Area under the curve on a P.V. graph is the Work Done.

The Area under the curve on a T.$\Phi$ graph is the heat Supplied.
