ABSTRACT Continuing their development of an energy-based algebra of discernible differences or quantitites, the authors demonstrate that, whether in ideal or actual heat engines, or in thermodynamic turbines, work has an entropy which must be taken into account if the sum of heat entropies is to abide by the First Law. While in the ideal heat engine the conventional net entropy is given by ΔS =(QH/TH) - (QC/TC) = 0 J °K-1, the authors demonstrate that in every heat engine the real net entropy is ΔSTtot = (ΔQH/TEnv) - (ΔQC/TEnv) - (PΔV/TEnv) = 0 J °K-1 Likewise, for the thermodynamic (Ranque-Hilsch) "vortex turbine", the authors demonstrate that ΔSTtot = SinTank + (SoutTurb - ΔSWflTurb) = SinTank + (SoutTurb - ΔSΔT) = SinTank + SoutTurb - (ST - ΔSCpT) = 0 J °K-1 and yet, using an optimal performance example, the sum of the molal entropy changes associated with the internal thermomolecular heat fluxes of the turbine is found to be ΔSinT = ΔS1 + ΔS2 = 24.943 J °K-1 mol-1 =∫= 44.772 nN mol-1 and not the conventional result ΔS = ΔS1 + ΔS2 = 22.538 J °K-1 mol-1 Since its medium has a constant heat capacity, the thermodynamic turbine presents changes in the entropy of state that are functionally identical to changes in the entropy of heat transfer, even though analytically the former remain distinct from the latter.
