What is Entropy?
The amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system. In refrigeration, Entropy measures the energy dispersion in a system divided by temperature. This ratio represents the tendency of energy to spread out, to diffuse, to become less concentrated in one physical location or one energetic state.
How to Calculate Entropy at point 1?
Entropy at point 1 calculator uses Entropy at Point 1 = Liquid Entropy at Point 1+((Dryness Fraction at point 1*Latent Heat of Fusion)/Temperature at the suction of compressor) to calculate the Entropy at Point 1, The Entropy at point 1 formula is defined as sum of liquid entropy at point 1 and ratio of product of dryness fraction at point 1 and the latent heat of fusion at point 1 to the temperature at the suction of compressor. Entropy at Point 1 is denoted by s1 symbol.
How to calculate Entropy at point 1 using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Entropy at point 1, enter Liquid Entropy at Point 1 (sf1), Dryness Fraction at point 1 (x1), Latent Heat of Fusion (hfg) & Temperature at the suction of compressor (T1) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Entropy at point 1 calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.0034 = 3000+((0.1*1000000)/250).
