Problem 05
Consider an insulated system consisting of a vacuum cleaner located in a kitchen. Stage (1) Over time
the floor of a kitchen gets quite messy from various food crumbs which are dropped and randomly spread
throughout the kitchen. Stage (2) While vacuuming the kitchen floor you are effectively forcing the
randomly distributed food crumbs into a small container. (a) Rank the change in entropy during each
stage from most positive to least. (b) Do either of these stages violate the second law?
Problem 06
