Entropía

The capacity factor for thermal energy that is hidden with respect to temperature http//arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0004055.

Examples :

"The entropy of the lukewarm bathwater increased as the hot water cooled and the cold water warmed, making the energy less available to do work. "

La entropía del agua tibia del baño aumentó a medida que el agua caliente se enfriaba y el agua fría se calentaba, haciendo que la energía estuviera menos disponible para realizar trabajo.

La dispersión de energía

The dispersal of energy; how much energy is spread out in a process, or how widely spread out it becomes, at a specific temperature. https//web.archive.org/web/20060702234316/http://www.entropysite.com/students_approach.html

Examples :

"As the ice cube melts, the water molecules spread out, increasing the entropy of the system. "

A medida que el cubo de hielo se derrite, las moléculas de agua se dispersan, aumentando la dispersión de energía del sistema.
