A heat engine whose thermal efficiency is 40 percent uses a hot reservoir at 1300 R and a cold reservoir at 500R. Calculate the entropy change of the two reservoirs when 1 Btu of heat is transferred from the hot reservoir to the engine. Does this engine satisfy the increase of entropy principle? If the thermal efficiency of the heat engine is increased to 70 percent, will the increase of entropy principle still be satisfied?
