Abstract
We address Bizarro's comment on a paper by Anacleto (2011 Eur. J. Phys. 32 279). Bizarro claims that (i) Anacleto's approach is either incomplete or incorrect; (ii) one problem is the definition of dissipative work; and (iii) additional ambiguities and misconceptions may stem from his explanations. We contend that (i) both authors present exactly the same definition of dissipative work; and (ii) it is possible to obtain a more general expression to evaluate the entropy change that comprises the expressions developed by both authors—indicating that Anacleto's approach is correct and coherent, and that the criticism of the paper is therefore unfounded.
