The correlation of the standard entropy of the complete waste mixture derived was found to be s o msw= 0.0101C + 0.0630H + 0.0106O + 0.0108N + 0.0155S + 0.0084Cl (kJ.K -1.kg) and the present correlation can be used for estimating the absolute entropy of MSW by using the elemental compositions of the fuel within the range of 10.3% ≤ C ≤ 95.1%, 0.0% ≤ H ≤ 14.3%, 0.0% ≤ O ≤ 71.1%, 0.0 ≤ N ≤ 66.7%, 0.0% ≤ S ≤ 42.1%, 0.0% ≤ Cl ≤ 89.7%.

The substances were divided into different waste fractions namely, food, wood/paper, textiles/rubber and plastics waste and the standard entropies of each waste fraction and for the complete mixture were calculated. Calculation of absolute molecular entropies and heat capacities made simple P. It is also true for smaller closed systems continuing to chill a.

This was true in the last example, where the system was the entire universe. The proposed model was derived from 117 relevant organic substances which represent the main constituents in MSW with known standard entropies using statistical analysis. The third law of thermodynamics states that as the temperature approaches absolute zero in a system, the absolute entropy of the system approaches a constant value.

In this work, an empirical model to calculate the absolute entropy of MSW based on the content of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, and chlorine on a dry ash free basis (daf) is presented. Absolute entropies, also known as standard entropies, describe the number of possible states a molecule can take, a measure of its disorder. The entropy of pure substances known as absolute entropy is determined at an absolute reference point and is useful in the thermodynamic analysis of chemical reactions however, municipal solid waste (MSW) is a structurally complicated material with unknown absolute entropy. From 89 K to its melting point at 161 K, the heat capacity of solid carbon disulfide increases linearly from 42 J/ (molK) to 57 J. However, the heat capacity of solid carbon disulfide varies greatly with temperature. If we have heat capacity data down to a temperature near absolute zero, we can estimate the value of (A) from the value of (CP) at the lowest available temperature. The identification and reduction of irreversibility in the energy conversion process helps to improve the efficiency of the system. As long as the change in the heat capacity as a function of temperature is similar between two substances, then the relative ranking based on absolute entropy will be similar to a ranking of the internal energy, which is what the author means when he says that the former can be used as 'a rough indicator or approximate index' of the latter. The heat capacity, CP, of liquid carbon disulfide is a relatively constant 78 J/ (molK). The Debye theory predicts that, at temperatures near absolute zero, the heat capacity varies as the cube of temperature: (CPAT3), where (A) is a constant. 689-694 Article in journal (Refereed) Published Abstract Įntropy, as an outcome of the second law of thermodynamics, measures the level of irreversibility associated with any process. 2016 (English) In: World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Environmental, Chemical, Ecological, Geological and Geophysical Engineering, E-ISSN 2010-3778, Vol.
