consider an irreversible cycle. There will be no changes in the state variables (like U, S) of the system undergoing the cycle, but for the surroundings, there will be change in the state variables, in fact, entropy increases.
my question is, what happens to the internal energy of the surroundings?.. according to what i had calculated, it does change, it decreases...but does this mean its violating the conservation of energy?!...
