MC Hawking - Entropy Entropy Trash Talk Harm me with harmony. Doomsday, drop a load on 'em. Verse 1 Entropy, how can I explain it? I'll take it frame by frame it, to have you all jumping, shouting saying it. Let's just say that it's a measure of disorder, in a system that is closed, like with a border. It's sorta, like a, well a measurement of randomness, proposed in 1850 by a German, but wait I digress. "What the fuck is entropy?", I here the people still exclaiming, it seems I gotta start the explaining. You ever drop an egg and on the floor you see it break? You go and get a mop so you can clean up your mistake. But did you ever stop to ponder why we know it's true, if you drop a broken egg you will not get an egg that's new. That's entropy or ENTRO to the P to the Y, the reason why the sun will one day all burn out and die. Order from disorder is a scientific rarity, allow me to explain it with a little bit more clarity. Did I say rarity? I meant impossibility, at least in a closed system there will always be more entropy. That's entropy and I hope that you're all down with it, if you are here's your membership. Chorus You down with entropy? Yeah, you know me! (x3) Who's down with entropy? Every last homey! Verse 2 Defining entropy as disorder's not complete, 'cause disorder as a definition doesn't cover heat. So my first definition I would now like to withdraw, and offer one that fits thermodynamics second law. First we need to understand that entropy is energy ...

Clarifying that the thermodynamic definition of Entropy requires a reversible system.
**Read the description for a more detailed summary of the video.** This is the fourth video in the Thermodynamics sequence. First we talk about Heat Engines, which are powered by heat input and provide work as output. They are represented by PV diagrams which exhibit a positive net work and positive net heat. A key fact is that, in addition to work, heat engines also output waste heat energy. It turns out to be impossible to avoid this waste heat. We can characterize how much waste heat is produced using the efficiency formula for the engine. After introducing the concept of Entropy, we find that there is a maximum efficiency for any engine, and that this maximum is always less than one. Entropy is traditionally a confusing topic. The physical picture behind entropy involves somewhat sophisticated subjects, like microstates/macrostates and order/disorder, that are a bit removed from the issues at hand. We won't discuss the physical meaning of entropy here, but merely state some facts about it and use those facts to do some calculations. While the microstate definition of entropy is very important, it would carry us too far afield to go over in this video. This video is part of a series on introductory topics in physics. The target audience is beginning college students who have already had one semester of Newtonian Mechanics.

I watched the short film "Entropy" for the third time the other night. Just after I watched it, my internet connection promptly decided to stop working. But I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I sat down at the piano and started playing with the theme from it (as well as I could remember it), and ended up with this. All credit goes to Rhubarb Zoo and the creators of the film, of course. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com Oh, the picture is mine though. I made it like, ten minutes ago.

This General Chemistry lecture covers the role of entropy in equilibrium systems. We describe the dependence of the Gibbs Free Energy on concentration or partial pressure of reacting species, and derive the mathematical conditions for chemical equilibrium. We describe the Law of Mass Action and Le Chateliers Principle for predicting the response of any system that is disturbed from equilibrium.
Introduction to entropy as a thermodynamic state function. Covers the 2nd and 3rd Laws of Thermodynamics and the relationships between heat, entropy, and Gibbs Free Energy for chemical systems.

From the 2004 album Under a Stone with No Inscription Line-up: Fredrik Schälin - Vocals/Guitar Andreas Allenmark - Guitar Henrik Drake - Bass Conny Pettersson Drums Lyrics: Under fire, we're at war! Information is colliding With our great intentions And distracting our flow of energy We are enslaved By fear, rage, pain and jealousy Incarnations of chaos Rule our mind, kill our aspirations Let's not fight ourselves! But the entropy ruling our minds It's a fight for our lives A strife to take control of our perception Fight! Keep fighting the enemies within, Fighting the entropy within [Lead: Schalin] Key to unlock the treasury: Concentration undisturbed State where body and mind unite Time fades and we're filled with euphoria Fight! Keep fighting the enemies within, Fighting the entropy within
