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?

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
