Homework SourseRunning water at 20 degrees Celsius is heated at a constant
Running water at 20 degrees Celsius is heated at a constant rate using a gas burner having combustion gases at 800 degrees Celsius. This process is?
A.) Irreversible because the temperature difference between the water and gases is large
B.) Irreversible because it is running water and not a closed system
C.) Reversible because gas combustion uses high quality heat energy
D.) Reversible because it is at a constant rate

D.) Reversible because it is at a constant rate
Solution
Options d
Since the process is done at a constant rate, the process can be reversible and same amount the energy supplied to the water can be extracted.
