Answer:

0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Second law is satisfied.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Rate of heat transfer, Q = 2kW

Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 800K

Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 300K

The rate of entropy change is given as:

ΔS = Q * [(1/Tc) - (1/Th)]

ΔS = 2 * (1/300 - 1/800)

ΔS = 2 * 0.002085

ΔS = 0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Since ΔS is greater than 0, te the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

it is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the case when approx 50% only of the solar energy would be directed towards earth and it would be penetrates directly to the surface so the rest or remaining of the radiation would be either absorbed or refected by the atmosphere

So as per the given situation the above represent the answer

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant
