A steam engine stove produces, say, 10 units of warmth, the second law states that not all warmth can be converted into work, so 8 units are converted into orderly energy, work, and 2 units aren't converted. Why did the entropy increase, since 10 units of warmth is more chaotic than 2?
A fridge cools something down, this cooling down, or decrease in entropy, is overcompensated by producing more warmth in the back of the fridge, so how is the total energy conserved, where does this 'extra' warmth come from?
Thanks!
