Problem

A designer sketches a device that transfers 100 J of energy as heat each second from a cold reservoir at 250 K directly to a hot reservoir at 400 K, with no work or other energy transfer. Determine the total entropy change of the universe per second that would result and comment on the feasibility of the process.
