SANAE IV, a research station of The South African National Antarctic Programme (SANAP), is located on Vesleskarvet, Queen Maud Land. On a given day, 29674 J of heat leaks out of a building. The inside temperature is 22.8 °C, and the outside temperature is -20.2 °C. What is the increase in the entropy of the universe that this heat loss produces?
