Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.

Question

There is an 500g container made out of aluminum holding 300g of water. The Water and Aluminum have reached thermal equilibrium at 40 degrees Celsius. A 200g block of iron at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius is later dropped into the water. Using the specific heat for water=4180J/kg/C. The specific heat for aluminum is 900 J/kg/C. The specific heat for iron is 450 J/kg/C. The final temperature of the three materials will be degrees celsius. The thermal energy of the water changes by Joules.
