thermodynamics - Why is entropy generation zero at infinitesimal temperature gradient?


First question: Is the question I asked valid in the first place? Is it really true? Second question: If so, is it because the exchanged heat between the bodies between which the temperature gradient exists is also infinitesimal and hence negligible? The explanation I provided is not convincing for me as, in physics, "infinitesimal" is not always synonymous with "negligible".

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
