What is unique about a Carnot Cycle heat engine?

1

1200 J of heat flowing spontaneously through a copper rod from a hot reservoir 650 K to a cold reservoir at 350 K. Determine
the amount by which this irreversible process changes the entropy of the universe, assuming that no other changes occur.

First blank is for the numeric value. The second blank is for the units, putting a space between all characters.
