It is often caused by gallstones. Common symptoms are severe pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, and vomiting. Treatment is usually a few days in the hospital for intravenous (IV) fluids, antibiotics, and medicines to relieve pain. Chronic pancreatitis does not heal or improve.
Definition of Entropy. Entropy is a thermodynamic measure of the disorder in a system. The entropy of a reaction is calculated by comparing the disorder of the products and reactants. An increase in entropy corresponds to an increase in disorder and a dispersion of energy. An important example of a system with increasing entropy is water boiling to make steam, where the molecules have much more freedom and are more disordered.
CY101 T. Pradeep 2007 2 The meaning of entropy: Entropy of mixing Consider that a number of ideal gases are separated which are present in a vessel.Let n i be the number of moles of each gas and V i is the volume it occupies. The total entropy,S 1 = ân i (C v ln T + R ln V i + S i)1 Note the term S i.Y101 T.
