Hi guys, i have a quick question about thermodynamics. If i have a non-ideal gas which undergoes an isobaric process, from state A to state B, can i calculate the variaton of entropy by using the same formula used for ideal gases? [math] \Delta S = nC_pln \frac{T_B}{T_A} [/math]

You can if you justify the behavior of the gas for the give temp and pressure changes.

If it doesn't compress normally or transfer heat, you'd have to derive new kinematics to get a modified law.

From there, you can use the divergence to find a new value for S

The process is isobaric, so the pressure stays the same. I'm not interested in the process itself but in how much the entropy does change. The formula which i posted before can be obtained via the clausius integral and the ideal gases law. I'm asking if i can use it for non-ideal gases too.

no, deriving that equation assumes an ideal gas.
[eqn] \Delta S = \int \frac{dQ}{T}[/eqn]
with
[eqn] Q = \Delta U + P\Delta V[/eqn]
since its isobaric. Also
[eqn] \Delta U = nc_V \Delta T[/eqn]

Now since its an ideal gas let [math] P\Delta V = nR\Delta T[/math] and you get
[eqn] Q = nc_V \Delta T + nR\Delta T = nc_P \Delta T[/eqn]

Putting that in the integral gives
[eqn] \Delta S = \int nc_P \frac{d T}{T} = nc_P \ln\frac{T_1}{T_2}[/eqn]

Now if its not an ideal gas:

Lets say [math] PV = f(T)[/math] for some function, well get
[eqn] \Delta S = \int nc_V \frac{d T}{T} + \int \frac{f'(T)d T}{T}[/eqn]
In general.

Just use P=nRT/V

You don't need to use the ideal gas equation to derive that formula. Only to assume that the molar heat capacity is constant. By the definition of heat capacity:
[math]\delta Q=nc_pdT[/math]
So:
[math]\Delta S=\int nc_p\frac{dT}{T}[/math]
