The discussion centers around the calculation of the entropy change of the Universe when heat is transferred between two thermal reservoirs, H and C, at different temperatures (900 K and 300 K, respectively). Participants are examining the implications of this heat transfer on universal entropy.
There is an ongoing verification of the calculations presented, with some participants correcting temperature values and questioning the arithmetic simplifications. While some attempts have been made to arrive at a numerical answer, there is no explicit consensus on the final result, and the discussion remains open to further clarification.
Participants are working under the constraints of a homework problem, which may limit the information available for deeper exploration of the concepts involved. There is an emphasis on ensuring that the correct temperatures are used in the calculations.
I think that's the right approach. But isn't C at 300 K (not 200)?gboff21 said:
I think you might have inverted something.

Wait, what?
