Lecture

Entropy, Irreversible Transformations, Examples

Description

This lecture covers irreversible transformations, focusing on the example of two solids at different temperatures in contact. It explores calculating the final temperature, entropy change, and internal entropy created. The concept of maximum internal entropy is discussed, along with the demonstration of the irreversibility of real machines compared to the theoretical Carnot cycle.
