Walker, Halliday & Resnick β Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 41
41 In the irreversible process of Fig. 20-5, let the initial temperatures of the identical blocks L and R be 305.5 and 294.5 K, respectively, and let 350 J be the energy that must be transferred between the blocks in order to reach equilibrium. For the reversible processes of Fig. 20-6, what is $\Delta S$ for (a) block L, (b) its reservoir, (c) block R, (d) its reservoir, (e) the two-block system, and (f) the system of the two blocks and the two reservoirs?
π Solution Approach
Given: 41 In, 294.5 K, 350 J
Find: (a) block L; (b) its reservoir; (c) block R
