Explanation Write the given definition for temperature is as follows. T = ( ∂ u ∂ s ) ν (I) Here, the temperature is T , the internal energy is u , the entropy is s , the volume is ν , and the symbol ∂ indicates the partial differential of variables. Consider the given system is thermally isolated. Write the formula for change in net entropy of the system. d S system = m A d s A + m B d s B (II) Here, the change in entropy of the system A is d s A and the change in entropy of the system B is d s B . Consider the entropy ( S ) is the function of internal energy ( u ) and the volume ( ν ) . s = s ( u , v ) The total derivative of the entropy is expressed in terms of partial derivatives of u , ν as follows. d s = ( ∂ s ∂ u ) ν d u + ( ∂ s ∂ ν ) u d v (III) It is given that the volume of the system is constant. Hence, the change in volume is zero. ν = constant d ν = 0 Substitute 0 for d ν in Equation (III). d s = ( ∂ s ∂ u ) ν d u + ( ∂ s ∂ ν ) u ( 0 ) = ( ∂ s ∂ u ) ν d u (IV) Rewrite the equation (I) as follows by dividing d u by Equation (I) on both sides. d u T = d u ( ∂ u ∂ s ) ν d u T = ( ∂ s ∂ u ) ν d u (V) Substitute d s for ( ∂ s ∂ u ) ν d u in Equation (V). d u T = d s (VI) Express the Equation (VI) for system A and system B as follows. d s A = d u A T A d s B = d u B T B Substitute d u A T A for d s A and d u B T B for d s B in Equation (II)

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 m…

A pure crystalline substance at absolute zero temperature is in perfect order, and its entropy is zero (the third law of thermodynamics).

The rate of entropy transfer associated with heat transfer from a closed system operating at steady state to its surroundings must be equal to the rate of entropy production due to irreversibilities within the system. O True O False eTextbook and Media Save for Later

In a heat-treating process, a 10-kg metal part, initially at 1100 K, is quenched in a closed tank containing 100 kg of water, initially at 295 K.There is negligible heat transfer between the contents of the tank and their surroundings. Modeling the metal part and water as incompressible with constant specific heats 0.5 kJ/kg . K and 4.4 kJ/kg • K, respectively, determine the final equilibrium temperature after quenching, in K.
