Consider a heat reservoir which gains heat Q irreversibly at temperature T from the surroundings which is at temperature T0. The entropy change of reservoir is then given by QT, while that of the surroundings is −QT0.
My question is, how is this possible? According to the Clausius inequality, the entropy change of a irreversible process is greater than that due to heat transfer. Please help, thank you!
