Heat is transferred directly from a heat reservoir at 200 C to another heat reservoir at 5C. If the amount of heat transferred i
s 100kJ, what is the total entropy change as a result of this process? Draw a schematic to represent the heat exchange
1 answer:
Answer:
ΔS=0.148 KJ/K
Explanation:
Given that
Q = 100 KJ
T₁=200°C
T₁=200+273 = 437 K
T₂=5°C
T₂=5 + 273 = 278 K
Reservoir 1 is rejecting heat that is why it taken as negative while the reservoir 2 is gaining the heat that is why it is taken as positive.
So the total change in entropy given as
ΔS= - Q/T₁ + Q/T₂
ΔS= - 100/473 + 100/278 KJ/K
ΔS=0.148 KJ/K

solution:
You need to find the frequency, and they have already given you the wavelength. And since you already know the speed of light, you can use formula (2) to answer this problem. Remember to convert the nano meters to meters because the speed of light is in meters.
