Non-compensated heatThis is a featured page

In thermodynamics, non-compensated heat is a more descriptive name for entropy change dS involved in a cyclical process. The concept of “non-compensated heat”, according to Dutch thermodynamicist Sybren de Groot, was introduced by German physicist Rudolf Clausius in 1850 as a measure of irreversibility (in systems which need not be thermally insulated from their surroundings). [1] Belgian chemist Theophile de Donder, in 1927, supposedly, was able to relate Clausius’ non-compensated heat to affinity, a thermodynamic variable characterizing the state of the system. [2]
