The Variations of Entropy For a Perfect Gas,

\delta \Phi  = \frac{dq}{T}\;for\;a\;reversible\;operation
(1)
13108/img_therm_14.jpg
\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}\;w\;C_P\;dt
(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_V\;Ln\;\frac{V_2}{V_1}
(14)
\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi _1 = w\left( C_P\;Ln\;\frac{P_2}{P_1} + C_V\;Ln\;\frac{V_2}{V_1} \right)
(15)

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.
