Question: (I) 1.0 kg of water is heated from 0掳C to 100掳C. Estimate the change in entropy of the water.
Short Answer
The change in the entropy of the water is \(1.3 \times 1{{\rm{0}}^3}\;{\rm{J/K}}\).

A falling rock has kinetic energy KE just before striking the ground and coming to rest. What is the total change in entropy of rock plus environment as a result of this collision?
Question: An ideal heat pump is used to maintain the inside temperature of a house at \({T_{{\rm{in}}}} = 22{\rm{^\circ C}}\) when the outside temperature is \({T_{{\rm{out}}}}\). Assume that when it is operating, the heat pump does work at a rate of 1500 W. Also assume that the house loses heat via conduction through its walls and other surfaces at a rate given by \(\left( {650\;{{\rm{W}} \mathord{\left/
{\vphantom {{\rm{W}} {{\rm{^\circ C}}}}} \right.} {{\rm{^\circ C}}}}} \right)\left( {{T_{{\rm{in}}}} - {T_{{\rm{out}}}}} \right)\). (a) For what outside temperature would the heat pump have to operate all the time in order to maintain the house at an inside temperature of 22掳C? (b) If the outside temperature is 8掳C, what percentage of the time does the heat pump have to operate in order to maintain the house at an inside temperature of 22掳C?
An aluminum rod conducts 8.40 cal/s from a heat source maintained at 225掳C to a large body of water at 22掳C. Calculate the rate at which entropy increases in this process.
Question: Suppose a heat pump has a stationary bicycle attachment that allows you to provide the work instead of using an electrical wall outlet. If your heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 2.0 and you can cycle at a racing pace (Table 15鈥2) for a half hour, how much heat can you provide?
A 鈥淐arnot鈥 refrigerator (the reverse of a Carnot engine) absorbs heat from the freezer compartment at a temperature of -17掳C and exhausts it into the room at 25掳C.
(a) How much work would the refrigerator do to change 0.65 kg of water at 25掳C into ice at -17掳C.
(b) If the compressor output is 105 W and runs 25% of the time, how long will this take?
