[mesa-users] Entropy equation used in MESA

[Francis Timmes]

mesa looks up equation of state quantities from tables,
which is why there is not an explicit calculation of 
thermodynamic quantities.

one option is to use mesa's equation of state module in the other code
so that there are no differences in, say, the entropy.

what range of temperature, density, and composition regime are of interest?

But it does not match with what MESA calculates. Apparently the equations I am using to calculate entropy are different from what has been used in MESA.
