S 3

We know that Entropy S is a mathematical quantity that gives us information on the direction of
possible thermodynamic processes.
You can use the following assumptions and facts without proving:
I.
Entropy is an increasing function of temperature
II.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
III.
There exist adiabatic processes that had the sole effect of increasing the temperature
of the system. In other words, if T < T', the process (T, X) → (T', X) is possible.
Planck's Principle: For any extensive variables X and temperatures T < T', adiabatic
processes (T,X) → (T'', X) that do not change X is irreversible.
Now, show that for any adiabatic operation (T, X) → (T',X') to be possible, we must ensure the
condition S(T, X) ≤ S(T', X'), where T is the temperature and X is the set of extensive variables.
