Heat flows through a wall of a house at a steady-state on a day when the temperature of the outdoor air is 2°C and the air inside the house is maintained at 27°C. The temperatures of the inner surface of the wall is 2°C cooler than indoor air temperature. And the temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 3°C warmer than the outdoor air temperature. The rate of heat transfer through the wall is 964W. Determine the rate of total entropy generation associated with this heat transfer process (in W/K).

Calculate the quantity of heat to be transferred in BTU to 2.81 kg of brass to raise its temperature from 20.8°C to 239.4°C. The specific heat of the brass is 0.394 kJ/kg K.
A rigid box with insulated side walls is put in the air. Only the top wall and the bottom wall of the box are not insulated. Hot air at 70°C is blown over a 1m × 2m flat surface of the top wall of a box at 30°C. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 45 W/(m2 · °C). Determine the rate of heat transfer in kW from the bottom wall to the air, if you know that the temperature of the box remains constant and no heat is generated inside. Justify your answer.
Putting hot foods into the refrigerator without cooling them first not only wastes energy but also could spoil the foods nearby. Is it true?
Define the work (boundary) done on an adiabatic system is equal to the increase in the energy of the system.
A fluid enters a machine at 188.98 m/s, 805 kPa, and with a specific volume of 0.125 m³/kg. The radiation heat loss is 24.19 kJ/kg. The internal energy decreases by 478 kJ/kg. If the fluid leaves at 329.06 m/s, 139 kPa, and 0.868 m³/kg, determine the work done by the fluid in kJ. The mass of the fluid is 1.506 kg.
