Question

Calculate the change of entropy
(a) of a bath containing water, initially at 20 ◦ C,
when it is placed in thermal contact with a very
large heat reservoir at 80 ◦ C,
(b) of the reservoir when process (a) occurs,
(c) of the bath and of the reservoir if the bath is
brought to 80 ◦ C through the operation of a Carnot
engine between them.
The bath and its contents have total heat capacity
10^4 J/K .
