Answer:

hypothesis on the ultimate fate of the universe, which suggests the universe would evolve to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and would therefore be unable to sustain processes that increase entropy.

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Are you literally posting your entire you chemistry homework on this site, one question at a time? Anyways, the heat death refers to the second law of thermodynamics and entropy. Heat is constantly flowing from warmer to cooler objects and never the other way around. This heat flow increases entropy, which is constantly increasing. The universe will eventually disperse all of its heat energy away to continuously increase entropy and reach a limit as the temperature reaches 0 K at which point all molecular motion will cease and so will the life of the universe.

The rate of entropy change:

The rate of entropy change of the working fluid during the heat addition process is 3 kW/K

What is the Carnot cycle?

The Carnot Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle made up of reversible isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression, and adiabatic compression processes in succession.
The ratio of the heat absorbed to the temperature at which the heat was absorbed determines the change in entropy.

The entropy of a system:

The rate of heat addition is expressed as,

Q = $\frac{WT_{H}}{T_{H}- T_{L}}$
