A simple problem confused me:
suppose a constant amount of heat Q and a solid body with heat capacity C and initial temperature T1.
I want to calculate the final temperature of the body when heat Q transferred to the body at the following conditions:
1- irreversible heat transfer
2- reversible heat transfer
3- quasi static heat transfer
???
Dear Sir
Kind regards..
You can not transfer any amount of heat to a body unless there is a temperature difference between the body and its environment. This amount of heat is dictated by the temperature difference. large temperature difference transfers more heat than small temperature difference. With reversible processes the temperature difference is zero which is an ideal and non-realistic case. for quasi static heat transfer, the difference is so small that causes no change in equilibrium and this takes very long time. In all cases the final temperature of the body is calculated from the following equation:- T2=T1+Q/(M*C)
Isn't irreversibility affect the finial temperature?
But it seem that at the reversible process the final temperature increase more?!
Hallo,
as a matter of fact, not in the way you pose the problem. If a given amount Q of thermal energy is exchanged, the final temperature will be as the colleague said T2=T1+Q/(M*C); you can realize this if you apply the energy balance to your system and express the variation of internal energy as the product of the specific thermal capacity times mass times temperature difference. As a matter of fact, the first-pricniple (energy balance) does not discern between reversible and irreversible processes (and heat and work would seem indistinguishable in this regard), you need to apply second-law balance equation to find out that non-reversible thermal exchanges introduce a term called entropy production (rate) which is absent in reversible processes. If you need a rather broad but accurate insight into the matter, I suggest (I take it German is your native tongue) you have a look at chapter 3 (for 2nd law) and 2 (first law) of the excellent "Thermodynamik - Grundlagen und technische Anwendungen" by Baher and Kabelac, published by Springer.

Is there any difference between "reversible" and "quasi static" heat transfer in entropy generation?
In Quasi Static process it the Q must be very small and therefore Tfinal will be T1.
in reversible process again T1 must be equal to Tfinal. But this time it is exactly same where as in quasi-static process there might be slight change as the process may be irreversible.
and in any case the final temperature ideally should be T1+Q/MC but it will be less than that
