Paaiškinimas anglų kalba

• (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing mechanical work "entropy increases as matter and energy in the universe degrade to an ultimate state of inert uniformity"
• (communication theory) a numerical measure of the uncertainty of an outcome "the signal contained thousands of bits of information"
• The measure of that part of the heat or energy of a system which is not available to perform work. Entropy increases in all natural (spontaneous and irreversible) processes. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
