Can I ask you a question @mark E? (-:

Right but here's another  question: if I take a piece zinc and a piece copper and shove them under vaccuum and contact them together..what kind of entropy change is taking place here? Does one piece cool down and the other heat up on contact?

I'm refering to a contact potential,s reversable thermodynamics btw @markE

Those are two different things.
In order for a thermodynamic process to be fully reversible it must be able go either direction between two states without any external applied energy.  Do you assert that such a thing happens under the conditions you state with your copper and zinc strips?  If you do, then please identify the states and show that such a thing happens by experiment or some reputable reference.

no I'm just asking you about the thermodynamics of the two strips alone.forget about my hands @mark E.I want to know what's going on in the strips: does one cool down and one heat up when contacted.I don't see the energy diagram for the repeatable process anywhere on the net..

I haven't mentioned anything about your hands.  If you wish to try and show a Second Law violation with some arrangement then state the basis of your claim.

My claim is that there is a temperature change with this 100% reversable process: www.micromagazine.fabtech.org/archive/05/01/images/0501MI56a.gif

You should first establish your claim that the process is 100% reversible.  BTW: Your link is bad.

This image betta.my only desire for now is to establish that a temperature change will happen here and that the metal plates capacitance can be arbitrarily large while the switch remain same size @markE

The metal combos can be lithium/platinum,caesium/gold,zinc/gold,zinc/copper,zinc/tin etc etc.the metal pieces can be large/small/rough/smooth thus I've now established that the capacitance can be made arbitrarily large @mark E.now its just a question of the temperature changes that accompany this process..

Cmon @mark E.whats going to happen if we close the switch in that diagram,then open it.wheres the irreversability???????

You have not established such a thing.  For your vacuum conditions:  the system is in thermal equilibrium and remains there.

You did work charging a capacitor when you brought the plates into proximity.  One time only you can discharge that energy through a switch that includes the circuit and plate resistance.  Where is the reversibility?  Show the two states and that with no external input energy the system can go between the one and the other freely.

So your saying that the diagrammed system under vaccuum and ideal single temperature will pass charge through the switch only once @mark E? Not repeatable? You would be correct if it werent for capacitor leakage and re-equilibrization across the vaccuum gap.its reversable.
