Suppose there are two parts in an insulated chamber, one filled with ideal gas and other is complete vaccum, separated by a partition. Now if partition is removed then gas will rush in other part to fill the whole chamber.
PROBLEM- Now there should be increase in entropy of system but i have read that there are only two ways through which entropy can increase-
1) by heat tranfer.
2) by the action of dissipiative forces which converts work into entropy.
But in above case niether of the case is applicable since there is no heat and work tranfer. So what is that which is causing increase in entropy of system. Please help.
