Use the chemical potential of an ideal gas in (10.1.9) and obtain the barometric formula (10.1.10). Use the barometric formula to estimate the boiling point of water at an altitude of 2.50 km above sea level. Assume an average T = 270 K.
A heater coil is run at a voltage of 110 V and it draws 2.0 A current. If its temperature is equal to 200 °C, what is the rate of entropy production due to this coil?
