Assertion (A): Lost work is proportional to entropy generation.
Reason (R): The constant of proportionality is the absolute temperature of the surroundings.
Answer: D
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both are true and the reason names the constant. The Gouy-Stodola relation is \[ W_{lost} = T_0 S_{gen}, \] where \( T_0 \) is the temperature of the surroundings. It is what makes entropy generation an engineering quantity rather than an abstraction: multiply it by the ambient temperature and the answer is in watts, so the components of a plant can be ranked by the work each one wastes.
