Abstract
Based on engineering thermodynamics, we research that entropy as a new world view may be a key guideline for engineering and design, and we propose a concrete form: it is a continual optimization process, and corresponds to entropy of each stage constant decrease. From this we discuss “negative temperature” fallacy, which will derive impossible efficiency. Further, the knowledge economics and social sustainable development are searched, which are determined by engineering, design and entropy decrease.
