However, conservative fields associated with potential energy gradients of the system … act in opposition to the kinetic energy gradients reducing the overall accessible states of the system and its entropy …. Thus, entropy can be expressed as the ratio of difference between the input energy and potential energy of the system to …

The concept of entropy and the correct application of the Second Law of thermodynamics are essential in order to …
