Problem 72P

A heat engine operates between a high-temperature reservoir at 610 K and a low-temperature reservoir at 320 K. In one cycle, the engine absorbs 6400 J of heat from the high-temperature reservoir and does 2200 J of work. What is the net change in entropy as a result of this cycle?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

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
