Problem 51PE
The Sun radiates energy at the rate of 3.80 × 1026 W from its 5500º C surface into dark empty space (a negligible fraction radiates onto Earth and the other planets). The effective temperature of deep space is −270º C . (a) What is the increase in entropy in one day due to this heat transfer? (b) How much work is made unavailable?
