A chamber is divided into two halves by a non insulat-
ing movable partition. Air in one side is at a higher
pressure than air in the other side. The partition is
moved causing the higher pressure side to expand and
the lower pressure side to contract. What is the sign,
positive or negative, of the change in entropy for; the
high pressure side, the low pressure side, and the total
of the two?
