Entropy of the cell fluid model with Curie–Weiss interaction is obtained in analytical form as a function of temperature and chemical potential. A parametric equation is derived representing the entropy as a function of density. Features of both the entropy per particle and the entropy per cell are investigated at the entropy-density and entropy-chemical potential planes. The considered cell model is a multiple-occupancy model and possesses an infinite sequence of first-order phase transitions at sufficiently low temperatures. We find that the entropy exhibits pronounced minima at around integer-valued particle densities, which may be a generic feature of multiple-occupancy models.
