Question:

A small halogen light bulb receives an electrical power of 50 W. The small filament is at 1000 K and gives out 20% of the power as light and the rest as heat transfer to the gas, which is at 500 K; the glass is at 400 K. All the power is absorbed by the room walls at 25oC. Find the rate of generation of entropy in the filament, in the total bulb including glass and the total room including bulb.
