A system undergoes an adiabatic process which is realistic and does involve losses.
Which of the following would be the true? I chose ΔS = 0 but it was wrong.
| a. ΔS > 0 | b. ΔS < 0 | c. Not enough information. |
| d. ΔS = 0 |
Answer : (a) ΔS > 0
Adiabatic processes are characterized by an increase in entropy, or degree of disorder, if they are irreversible.
Here, we have an adiabatic process which is realistic and does involve losses - which means irreversible process.
therefore : ΔS > 0
If the adiabatic process is reversible then there will be no change in entropy.
