Entropy is one of the most important and most fundamental concepts in thermodynamics. It is also one of the most frequently misunderstood concepts. In this assignment, you will research about entropy and write a 3-5 page informative essay describing what entropy is and how it relates to the 2nd law of Thermodynamics. Your description of entropy should be more than a simple definition; the purpose of the paper is for you to demonstrate your own understanding of this concept and how it is applied in the real world. The second part of the paper should describe what is meant by “heat death” of the Universe, and how this relates to entropy. Your discussion should include a statement of whether or not heat death is inevitable and a description of the reasons.
