Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 13
In the irreversible process of Fig. 20.1.5, let the initial temperatures of the identical blocks \(L\) and \(R\) be \(305.5\) and \(294.5 \text{ K}\), respectively, and let \(215 \text{ J}\) be the energy that must be transferred between the blocks in order to reach equilibrium. For the reversible processes of Fig. 20.1.6, 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?
