Entropy

In physics, entropy means the amount of disorder or the degree of randomness associated with a thermodynamic system. The system is not self-organized when the entropy of the system is high. For instance, when a system is at an elevated temperature, its molecules are in random motion, vibrating and colliding with each other. During this scenario, the probability of finding a molecule at a particular place twice, is low. Under this circumstance, the system can be said to be in a high entropy.

Question

Consider a closed system going through an irreversible process that includes heat
transfer with the surroundings. A colleague claims that since heat transfer generates entropy,
the entropy of the system will increase. Do agree with this assessment? Why or why not?

A 40-lb aluminum bar, initially at Ta = 150oF, is placed in a tank together with 190 lb of liquid water, initially at Tw = 70oF, and allowed to achieve thermal equilibrium. The aluminum bar and water can be modeled as incompressible with specific heats ca = 0.216 Btu/lb·oR and cw = 0.998 Btu/lb·oR, respectively. Consider the aluminum bar and water as the system and ignore heat transfer between the system and its surroundings. Determine the final temperature Tf, in oF, and the amount of entropy produced within the tank, in Btu/oR.
