Entropy increases as matter and energy in the universe degrade to an ultimate state of inert uniformity WordNet 3.0 & Open English WordNet
The thermodynamic free energy is the amount of work that a thermodynamic system can perform; it is the internal energy of a system minus the amount of energy that cannot be used to perform work. That unusable energy is given by the entropy of a system multiplied by the temperature of the system. [1] (Note that, for both Gibbs and Helmholtz free energies, temperature is assumed to be fixed, so entropy is effectively directly proportional to useless energy.). Wiktionary
