In thermodynamics there are two forms of energy transfer, work (W) and heat (Q). By analogy to work, there should be a property which if plotted against temperature, then the area under the graph would give the heat transfer. This property is entropy and it is given the symbol S. Consider a p-V and T-s graph for a reversible expansion. Figure 1
