6.54 In a heat-treating process, a 1-kg metal part, initially at T075 K, is quenched in a tank containing 100 kg of water, initially at 295 K. There is negligible heat transfer between the contents of the tank and their surroundings. Taking the specific heat of the metal part and water as constant at 0.5 kJ/kg · K and 4.2 kJ/kg · K, respectively, determine (a) the final equilibrium temperature after quenching, in K, and (b) the amount of entropy produced within the tank, in kJ/K.

T075 K, is quenched in a tank containing 100 kg of water,
initially at 295 K. There is negligible heat transfer between
the contents of the tank and their surroundings. Taking the
specific heat of the metal part and water as constant at
0.5 kJ/kg · K and 4.2 kJ/kg · K, respectively, determine (a)
the final equilibrium temperature after quenching, in K, and
(b) the amount of entropy produced within the tank, in kJ/K.
