I was just discussing this with my instructor – the concept of entropy is too abstract; you might want to look into engineering thermodynamics. Not understanding these two concepts doesn’t prevent you from applying other knowledge. You can read some books on the philosophy of science, such as Dialectics of Nature and similar works.

Hehe, that’s also a challenge for me. I think what the original poster meant was to have the forum members offer their own interpretations, based on their own perspectives and wisdom! I’m looking forward to it too~~~~~~~~~~~

I learned it when I was in school, but I’ve forgotten it all now. Haha, I don’t want to get into theory – I don’t have enough brainpower for that!

Enthalpy and entropy are really abstract concepts; I didn’t understand them well back in school, and I still don’t get them now. Could someone explain it to us in a vivid way?

The textbooks we used back then were \"Engineering Thermodynamics\"; \"Engineering Chemistry\" also covers related topics, so the original poster can take a look

Calculate the polytropic efficiency of the compressor a few more times and you’ll understand it

I remember thinking about it carefully when I was in school, but I didn’t understand it. During the exam, I just mechanically applied formulas in a confused manner. I still don’t understand it now
