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 8000 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

The resistance of a platinum wire is to be calibrated for low-temperature work. A platinum wire with resistance 1.5 ? at 30°C is immersed in liquid nitrogen at 93 K (?180°C). If the temperature response of the platinum wire is linear, what is the expected resistance of the platinum wire at ?180°C? [?platinum = 3.92 × 10^?3 (°C)?1]
