A 300-lb iron casting. initially at 600°F, is quenched in a tank filled with 2121 lb of oil, initially at 80°F. The iron casting and oil can be modeled as incompressible with specific heats 0.10 Btu/lb - °R. and 0.45 Btu/lb - °R, respectively. (a) For the iron casting and oil as the system.determine the final equilibrium temperature, in °F. Ignore heat transfer between the system and its surroundings. °F (b) For the iron casting and oil as the system,determine the amount of entropy produced within the tank, in Btu/°R. Ignore heat transfer between the system and its surroundings. Btu/°R

A 300-lb iron casting, initially at 1050°F, is quenched in a tank filled with 2121 lb of oil, initially at 80°F. The iron casting and oil can be modeled as incompressible with specific heats 0.10 Btu/lb · °R, and 0.45 Btu/lb · °R, respectively. (a) For the iron casting and oil as the system,determine the final equilibrium temperature, in °F. Ignore heat transfer between the system and its surroundings. Tf = i °F (b) For the iron casting and oil as the system,determine the amount of entropy produced within the tank, in Btu/°R. Ignore heat transfer between the system and its surroundings.

A divider separates 1 lb mass of carbon monoxide (CO) from a thermal reservoir at 150o F. the carbon monoxide, initially at 60o F  and 150 lbf/in2, expands isothermally to a final pressure of 10 lbf/in2 while receiving heat transfer through the divider from the reservoir. The carbon monoxide can be modeled as an ideal gas. (a) For the carbon monoxide as the system, evaluate the work and heat transfer, each in Btu and the amount of entropy produced, in Btu/oR. (b) Evaluate the entropy production, in Btu/oR, for an enlarged system that includesthe carbon monoxide and the divider, assuming the state of the divider remains unchanged. Compare with the entropy production of part (a) and comment on the difference.
