Hi all,
I read that the internal entropy change of a system ([tex]\Delta[/tex]Si) for a non-quasistatic process where a reservoir cools or heats the system, where N and V are fixed and no work is done is approximately equal to ([tex]\Delta[/tex]T)2, when the difference between TReservoir and Tsystem is small. The book said that expanding the logarithm in:
∆Ss= 3/2(Nk(ln(Tr/Ts) - ((Tr – Ts )/ Tr )))
can achieve this.
Note:
∆Ss= change in entropy for system
Tr=Temperature of reservoir
Ts=Temperature of system
I have played around with it for a while but don't seem to be able to get this result.
Thanks everyone :)
