Entropy Change Calculator (ΔS=Q/T)
Compute entropy change ΔS = Q/T for a reversible isothermal process: enter heat transfer and process temperature to get J/K and kJ/K.
Key points
Entropy Change Calculator (ΔS=Q/T): Compute entropy change ΔS = Q/T for a reversible isothermal process: enter heat transfer and process temperature to get J/K and kJ/K. Formula: ΔS = Q / T (reversible isothermal process). Enter parameters on the DD-CAT IDE online tool page to get results instantly, with a calculation-model diagram that updates with the inputs. Entropy change ΔS = Q/T applies to reversible isothermal processes; the general reversible case integrates ΔS = ∫dQ/T. Entropy is a state function; the entropy of an isolated system never decreases (the entropy increase principle), determining the direction of natural processes.
