Entropy is the unavailability of a system’s thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work.

"Entropy always increases with time." - Sadi Carnot

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy always increases with time.

The equation for the change in entropy, 𝛥𝑆, is:

𝛥𝑆 = 𝑄𝑇

Q is the heat that transfers energy during a process. T is the absolute temperature at which the process takes place.
