No, never heard of such a comparison.

Entropy is a measure of how much of the energy of a system is available *) to do work and how much of it is manifest *) as heat.

*) Maybe one could say: potentiallyavailable and potentially manifest , but that is not the same as potential energy.

Clausius defined the change in entropydS of a thermodynamic system, during a reversible process, asdS = δQ / T

whereδQ is a small amount of heat introduced reversibly to the system,T is a constant absolute temperature

What is a microcondria?

Nothing. Mitochondria are the cell's power producers. They convert energy into forms that are usable by the cell.


How do you convert Energy to Usable Forms?

over centuries, many different types of devices and systems have been developed for converting energy from forms provided by nature into forms usable by us. Some energy conversion devices are simple. For example, a traditional windmill transforms kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy for pumping water and grinding grain. Other conversion systems are more complex. For example there are several steps or processes on generating power at a nuclear power plant or a fossil fuel power plant.


What best describe cellular respiration?

It converts energy in food into a more usable form. (Cellular Respiration-The enzyme-controlled process in which energy is released from food and converted into a form that the cell can use.)


What kind of energy is lost energy?

Lost energy is typically converted into heat energy, which is a less useful form of energy as it cannot be easily converted back into a more usable form. This often occurs due to inefficiencies in energy conversion processes, such as friction or resistance in mechanical systems.

What are the benefits of upright freezers?

Chest freezers are better because they use less energy, have more usable space and are cheaper. They are easier to organize though. You can read more differences at http://housewares.about.com/od/refrigeratorsfreezers/a/chestvsupfreezr.htm

Can solar energy can be cheaply transformed into a usable form?

Yes, solar energy can be transformed into a usable form such as electricity through the use of solar panels. The cost of generating solar energy has decreased significantly in recent years, making it more affordable and competitive with other energy sources.


Entropy involves losing energy over time?

Entropy actually refers to the measure of disorder or randomness in a system. As a closed system evolves, entropy tends to increase over time as energy disperses and the system becomes more disordered. It is not about losing energy but rather about the transformation of energy into less usable forms.


Where does energy go after its been used?

After energy has been used, the energy transforms to another type of energy. This energy is obviously not usable. This useless energy then collects in the sky to form more useful energies.


What energy uses transverse waves?

Transverse waves are used in various energy-related applications, such as electromagnetic radiation (e.g., light and radio waves) for communication and solar energy technologies. In these cases, transverse waves play a crucial role in transmitting energy efficiently over large distances or converting it into usable forms.
