How many possible arrangements are there for a deck of 52 palying cards? (for simplicity, consider only the order of the cards, not whether they are turned upside- down, etc.) Suppose you start with a sorted deck and shuffle it repeatedly, so that all arrangements become "accessible". How much entropy do you create in the process?

A large factory furnace maintained at 170 ∘C at its outer surface is wrapped in an insulating blanket of thermal conductivity 5.50×10−2 W/(m⋅K) which is thick enough that the outer surface of the insulation is at 43.0 ∘C while heat escapes from the furnace at a steady rate of 140 W for each square meter of surface area. By how much does each square meter of the furnace change the entropy of the factory every second?
