Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Apply NASA’s constant-specific-heat ideal-gas pressure-temperature entropy relation to state inputs without inferring a thermodynamic process or equipment behavior.

Δs = cp·ln(T₂/T₁) − R·ln(p₂/p₁)

When

  • Ideal-gas relation
  • Declared absolute temperature and pressure states
  • No process-path or property model

Don’t

  • This applies NASA’s constant-specific-heat ideal-gas pressure-temperature entropy relation only to user-declared state values. It does not determine gas properties, phase, process path, reversibility, heat or work transfer, state validity, isentropic efficiency, refrigeration, equipment, capacity, safety, suitability, or approval.
