It is 3.2 because you add 2.3 and 4.1 then divide your answer by 2.
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.
General adaptation syndrome is made of 3 stages; alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. Reaction is NOT one of these stages.
