Consider a small system in contact with a thermal reservoir. The system + reservoir are assumed to be isolated from the rest of the universe. Assume that the system has entropy Ssys, internal energy Usys, volume Vsys, and a single particle (Nsys = 1). The corresponding values for the reservoir are Sres, Ures, Vres, and Nres >> Nsys. We will assume that all N are fixed. A. If the system is in contact with the thermal reservoir, what thermodynamic variable(s)...

An experimentalist claims that, based on his measurements, a heat engine receives 300 Btu of heat from a source at 900 R, converts 160 Btu of it to work, and rejects the rest as waste heat to a sink at 540 R. Are these measurements reasonable? Why? Draw a sketch showing the direction of work and of heat transfer between the heat engine and the high and low temperature reservoirs. If the heat engine were to operate reversibly between these...

A metal wire is in thermal contact with two heat reservoirs at both of its ends. Reservoir 1 is at a temperature of 554 K, and reservoir 2 is at a temperature of 392 K. Compute the total change in entropy arising from the conduction of 1243 J of heat through the wire. Please give your answer in units of J/K.

Heat in the amount of 150 KJ is tranferred directly from a hot reservoir at Th = 550k to two cooler reservoirs at T1 = 350k and T2 = 250k. The surrounding temperatures is TS = 300K. If the heat transferred to the reservoir at T1 is half that tranferred to the reservoir at T2, calculate: a. the entropy generation in KJ / K b. the lost work **Please show me the formula and steps how to do this problem...

Suppose that there are two very large reservoirs of water, one at a temperature of 87.0 ∘C and one at a temperature of 19.0 ∘C. These reservoirs are brought into thermal contact long enough for 40210 J of heat to flow from the hot water to the cold water. Assume that the reservoirs are large enough so that the temperatures do not change significantly. What is the total change in entropy, Δ?tot, resulting from this heat exchange between the hot...
