A person is at rest in an insulated room with an ambient temperature of 19.1°C. The person has a total surface area of 1.84 m² and a skin temperature of 30°C. The person in this state gets rid of excess heat radiation. By how much is the person changing the entropy of the air in the room each second? Assume the emissivity of the skin is 1.00, and remember that the room radiates back to the person as well. Select the correct answer

The temperature at the surface of the Sun is approximately 5,600 K, and the temperature at the surface of the Earth is approximately 291 K. What entropy change of the Universe occurs when 4.50 103 J of energy is transferred by radiation from the Sun to the Earth? ____________ J/K
A high temperature reservoir losing heat and hence entropy is a reversible process. A low temperature reservoir gaining a certain amount of heat and hence entropy is a reversible process. But a high temperature reservoir losing heat to a low temperature reservoir is irreversible. Why?
A large factory furnace maintained at 170 ∘C at its outer surface is wrapped in an insulating blanket of thermal conductivity 5.50×10−2 W/(m⋅K) which is thick enough that the outer surface of the insulation is at 43.0 ∘C while heat escapes from the furnace at a steady rate of 140 W for each square meter of surface area. By how much does each square meter of the furnace change the entropy of the factory every second?
