Entropy for an irreversible Operation
Consider a gas changing from to
. The Function of State depends upon the values of P,V,&T at 1 & 2, and it is independent of the process.

NOTE
The Area under the curve on a P.V. graph is the Work Done.
The Area under the curve on a T. graph is the heat Supplied.
