Question 2

One end of a copper rod is in thermal contact with a hot reservoir at T = 500 K and the other end is in thermal contact with a cooler reservoir at T = 300 K. Find the entropy change of each reservoir, and the total entropy change, when 8 000 J of heat energy are conducted from one end of the rod to the other with no change in the temperature distribution in the rod.
