Energy is typically regarded as understandable, despite its
multiple forms of storage and transfer. Entropy, however, is an
enigma, in part because of the common view that it represents
disorder. That view is flawed and hides entropy's connection with
energy. In fact, macroscopic matter stores internal energy, and
that matter's entropy is determined by how the energy is stored.
Energy and entropy are intimately linked. Energy and Entropy: A
Dynamic Duo illuminates connections between energy and entropy for
students, teachers, and researchers. Conceptual understanding is
emphasised where possible through examples, analogies, figures, and
key points. Features: Qualitative demonstration that entropy is
linked to spatial and temporal energy spreading, with equilibrium
corresponding to the most equitable distribution of energy, which
corresponds to maximum entropy Analysis of energy and entropy of
matter and photons, with examples ranging from rubber bands,
cryogenic cooling, and incandescent lamps to Hawking radiation of
black holes Unique coverage of numerical entropy, the 3rd law of
thermodynamics, entropic force, dimensionless entropy, free energy,
and fluctuations, from Maxwell's demon to Brownian ratchets, plus
attempts to violate the second law of thermodynamics
