An isolated system of total mass m is formed by mixing two

Chapter 6, Problem 6.72

(choose chapter or problem)

An isolated system of total mass m is formed by mixing two equal masses of the same liquid initially at the temperatures \(T_{1}\) and \(T_{2}\). Eventually, the system attains an equilibrium state. Each mass is incompressible with constant specific heat c.

(a) Show that the amount of entropy produced is

\(\sigma=m c \ln \left[\frac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2\left(T_{1} T_{2}\right)^{1 / 2}}\right]\)

(b) Demonstrate that\(\sigma\) must be positive.
