A closed system undergoes a process in which work is done on the system and the heat transfer $Q$ occurs only at temperature $T_{\mathrm{b}}$. For each case, determine whether the entropy change of the system is positive, negative, zero, or indeterminate. (a) internally reversible process, $Q>0$. (b) internally reversible process, $Q=0$. (c) internally reversible process, $Q<0$. (d) internal irreversibilities present, $Q>0$. (e) internal irreversibilities present, $Q=0$. (f) internal irreversibilities present, $Q<0$.
