I want to use commercial oils like Thermiol-VP1 as working fluid in solar collectors and insufficient data are available for these oils in the references. How can I calculate exergy and entropy properties?
During the process of deriving the so-called entropy, in fact, ΔQ/T can not be turned into dQ/T. That is, the so-called "entropy " doesn't exist at all.
The so-called entropy was such a concept that was derived by mistake in history.
It is well known that calculus has a definition,
any theory should follow the same principle of calculus; thermodynamics, of course, is no exception, for there's no other calculus at all, this is common sense.
Based on the definition of calculus, we know:
to the definite integral ∫T f(T)dQ, only when Q=F(T), ∫T f(T)dQ=∫T f(T)dF(T) is meaningful.
As long as Q is not a single-valued function of T, namely, Q=F( T, X, …), then,
∫T f(T)dQ=∫T f(T)dF(T, X, …) is meaningless.
1) Now, on the one hand, we all know that Q is not a single-valued function of T, this alone is enough to determine that the definite integral ∫T f(T)dQ=∫T 1/TdQ is meaningless.
2) On the other hand, In fact, Q=f(P, V, T), then
∫T 1/TdQ = ∫T 1/Tdf(T, V, P)= ∫T dF(T, V, P) is certainly meaningless. ( in ∫T , T is subscript ).
We know that dQ/T is used for the definite integral ∫T 1/TdQ, while ∫T 1/TdQ is meaningless, so, ΔQ/T can not be turned into dQ/T at all.
that is, the so-called "entropy " doesn't exist at all.
Thank you for adding your answer. Some point should be considered which was not included in your definition, as can be seen. You are using the ordinary derivative instead of the partial one for Q. In fact, Q is a function of (X, Y, Z, ..), as you mentioned, consequently its derivative must be of the partial type. This fact has been obviously represented in all reference books. In my opinion, there is a problem in your definition. If not, do not hesitate to aware me.
In dQ/T, the relationship of Q and T is not the ratio of dQ and T or the product of 1/T and dQ, but the relationship to Find the Original Function of 1/T in dQ/T=1/TdQ
For ΔQ/T=1/T *ΔQ, so,
in ΔQ/T, the relationship of Q and T is the ratio of ΔQ and T or the product of 1/T and ΔQ.
But in dQ/T, the relationship of Q and T is not the ratio of dQ and T or the product of 1/T and dQ, but the relationship to Find the Original Function of 1/T in dQ/T=1/TdQ.
For we know Q is not a single valued-function of T, in fact, Q=f(P, V, T), so, ΔQ/T can NOT turn into dQ/T.
All this time, people thought that dQ was not a complete differential, but dQ/T was considered as a complete differential.
However, this is wrong.
The facts are just the opposite: dQ is actually a complete differential, but dQ/T is meaningless.
in ΔQ/T, the relationship of Q and T is the ratio of ΔQ and T or the product of 1/T and ΔQ, so, in ΔQ/T, Q and T can be any relationship.
But in dQ/T, the relationship of Q and T is not the ratio of dQ and T or the product of 1/T and dQ, but the relationship to Find the Original Function of 1/T in dQ/T=1/TdQ.
For we know Q is not a single-valued function of T, (in fact, Q=f(P, V, T) ), so, ΔQ/T can NOT turn into dQ/T, or say, dQ/T is meaningless.
The problem is not whether dQ is meaningful or not here, it is 1/TdQ is meaningless !
Q = f(T, V, P) is a process quantity which varies with path, it has innumerable forms between the same original and terminal states, and has a unique form for fixed reversible process path. When the given path is fixed, Q = f(T, V, P) is the system state variable.
So, dQ=df(T, V, P) is a perfect differential, it is meaningful;
but the integral variable of 1/TdQ is self-contradictory (T and T, V, P), so, 1/TdQ=1/Tdf(T, V, P) is meaningless, that is ∫T 1/TdQ = ∫T 1/Tdf(T, V, P) is not a meaningful integral, or say, it is not a integral at all.
Further to your answer which was removed/edited, maybe I couldn’t describe my points well to you so that you can understand them. If Clausius, such a great scientist, could not understand both thermodynamic and mathematic (based on your previous statements), it doesn’t matter that I can’t either.
I don't think a researcher should have such prejudice as "If Clausius, such a great scientist, could not understand both of thermodynamic and mathematic, …… ", what a researcher follows should not be authority but be objective facts, a researcher should think independently, but not simply obey authoritative conclusion.
The premise of differential is the existence of a differentiable function !
The premise of integral is the existence of a function !
To a single integral, first of all, there must be a Function y=f(x), then, ∫ ydx=∫x f(x)dx may be meaningful, similarly,
∫ xdy=∫x xdf(x) =∫x xf'(x)dx=∫x G(x)dfx=∫x dF(x) is meaningful.
But, as we know, Q is NOT a single valued function of T, In fact, as I pointed out in my paper, Q=f(T, V, P), so, 1/TdQ=1/Tdf(T, V, P) is meaningless, that is ∫T 1/TdQ = ∫T 1/Tdf(T, V, P) is not a meaningful integral, or say, it is not a integral at all.
I didn't humiliate and scoff you or anyone, I'm just stating the fact that the Predecessor ( not you) really made a mistake, because the predecessor was an authority, so, the descendants believed in that authority.
Yes, I do know how this formula ∮1/TdQ=0 was derived. It seems to me that you do not have enough knowledge of partial differential equations according to what you have presented in this discussion and also your paper.
