Problem 69P

On a cold winter's day heat leaks slowly out of a house at the rate of 20.0 kW. If the inside temperature is 22 °C, and the outside temperature is −14.5 °C, find the rate of entropy increase.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Here, we have to find out the change in entropy of the system.

The equation for the change in entropy is,

 --------------------(1)

Where,  - Change in heat

              - temperature of the system

The rate of entropy change can be represented by using the equation,

Where,  - time
