    • 14.18: Entropy on a Microscopic Scale
      https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/Joliet_Junior_College/Physics_201_-_Fall_2019v2/Book%3A_Custom_Physics_textbook_for_JJC/14%3A_Thermodynamics/14.18%3A_Entropy_on_a_Microscopic_Scale
      Entropy can be related to how disordered or randomized a system is—the more it is disordered, the higher is its entropy.

      https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/Physics_(Boundless)/14%3A_Thermodynamics/14.4%3A_Entropy
      The entropy of a system is a measure of its disorder and of the unavailability of energy to do work.

      Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\): (a) Heat transfer from a hot object to a cold one is an irreversible process that produces an overall increase in entropy.

(b) The same final state and, thus, the same change in entropy is achieved for the objects if reversible heat transfer processes occur between the two objects whose temperatures are the same as the temperatures of the corresponding objects in the irreversible process.
