Let’s construct a heat engine that converts heat into mechanical work. The heat engine consist of the next main elements: the working body (gas under the piston), heater, cooler (fig.1).
Fig. 1. The main elements of the heat engine.
The ideal heat engine is called the heat engine in which the work carried out by the working body and the difference between the amount of heat, received from the heater and allotted into the cooler is equal to:
(1)
The ideal is a heat engine, which is a closed cycle ( Carnot’s cycle ) consisting of two isotherms and two adiabats (fig.2).
Fig.2 . Carnot’s cycle
If the heat engine is working on the Carnot cycle, we have the relation:
(2)
The quantity is called the reduced heat, or the entropy change. The infinitely small the change of the entropy is equal to:
(3)
Integrating the last equality we get the formula for the calculation of the entropy change:
