question 59

Multiple Choice

Consider a Carnot cycle starting at the state of highest pressure and smallest volume.Call the isothermal expansion that starts at this state step 1,the adiabatic expansion which follows step 2,the isothermal compression that then follows step 3,and the adiabatic compression which returns the system to the initial state step 4.In which step does the entropy of the system increase?

• A)1
• B)2
• C)3
• D)4
