The Entropy of Micro-state calculator computes a system's thermal energy per unit based on the number of micro-states.

INSTRUCTIONS:Enter the following:

• (W) Number of Micro-States

Entropy of Micro-state (S): The enrgy per unit is returned in Joules per degree Kelvin (J/K).  However, these can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula used in this calculator for Entropy of Micro-state is:

S = k * ln(W)

where:

• S = Entropy of a micro-state
• k = Boltzmann constant
• W = number of micro-states
