Two equal quantities of water, of mass m and at temperatures T1 and T2, (T1 > T2) are mixed together with the pressure kept c
onstant. Assume heat exchange occurs only between the two water containers. (a) Show that the entropy change of the universe is delta S = 2mc_P ln(T_1 + T_2/2 squareroot T_1T_2), where c_P is the specific heat capacity of water at constant pressure. Show that delta S > 0 for any finite temperatures T_1 and T_2.
1 answer:
Answer:
ΔS=2*m*Cp*ln((T1+T2)/(2*(T1*T2)^1/2))
Explanation:
The concepts and formulas that I will use to solve this exercise are the integration and the change in the entropy of the universe. To calculate the final temperature of the water the expression for the equilibrium temperature will be used. Similarly, to find the change in entropy from cold to hot water, the equation of the change of entropy will be used. In the attached image is detailed the step by step of the resolution.

Answer:
10,200 Cal. per day
Explanation:
The mouse consumes 3.0 Cal each day, and has a mass of 20 grams. We can use this data to obtain a ratio of energy consumption per mass
.
For the human, we need to convert the 68 kilograms to grams. We can do this with a conversion factor. We know that:
,
Now, we can divide by 1 kg on each side
,
.
Using this conversion factor, we can obtain the mass of the human in grams, instead of kilograms. First, lets take:
We can multiply this mass for the conversion factor, we are allowed to do this, cause the conversion factor equals 1, and its adimensional
Now that we know the mass of the human on grams, we can multiply for our ratio of energy consumption
So, we would need 10,200 Cal per day.
