- A 5-lb of copper at 200°F is submerged in 10 lbm of water at 50°F, and after a period of time, equilibrium is established. If the container is insulated, calculate the entropy change.A. 0B. 0.0167 Btu/RC. 0.0255 Btu/RD. 0.0315 Btu/Rarrow_forwardA container filled with 45 kg of liquid water at 95°C is placed in a 90-m3 room that is initially at 12°C. Thermal equilibrium is established after a while as a result of heat transfer between the water and the air in the room. Using constant specific heats, determine the entropy generation. Assume the room is well sealed and heavily insulated.arrow_forwardThe inner and outer surfaces of a 4-m × 10-m brick wall of thickness 20 cm are maintained at temperatures of 16°C and 4°C, respectively. If the rate of heat transfer through the wall is 1800 W, determine the rate of entropy generation within the wall.arrow_forward
- Assuming that the composite system is closed and isolated, what is the minimum increase in the entropy of substance 2 in order for this process to occur?arrow_forwardDefine the mechanisms of entropy transfer for a general system.arrow_forwardA small rigid storage tank with a volume of 0.12 m3 contains 0.9 kg of argon at 40°C. Heat transfer to the argon from a reservoir at 1500 K continues until the entropy of the argon has increased by 0.46 kJ/kgK. Determine the heat transfer in kJ, the final pressure of the argon in kPa, and the entropy production in kJ/K. Is this process reversible, irreversible, or impossible? You may assume the specific heat ratio for argon is k=1.67arrow_forward

Also, find the value using the ideal gas equation of state. Use data from the tables. The value of the ideal gas constant for air is R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K.

- 3. Initially, 0.55 kg of air is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 2 MPa and 350°C. The air is first expanded isothermally to 500 kPa, then compressed polytropically with a polytropic exponent of 1.2 to the initial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressure to the initial state. Determine the heat transfer for each process and the net heat of the cycle (in kJ).arrow_forward1kg of liquid subcooled water at 90°C is left to cool down at a LARGE room at 25°C until thermodynamic equilibrium is reached. Calculate the entropy generation during the process. (Include the units) Answer:arrow_forwardA piston-cylinder device contains 0.66 kg of nitrogen gas at 140 kPa and 37°C. The gas is now compressed slowly in a polytropic process during which PV1.3 = constant. The process ends when the volume is reduced by one-half. Determine the entropy change of nitrogen during this process. The gas constant of nitrogen is R = 0.2968 kJ/kg-K. The constant volume specific heat of nitrogen at room temperature is cy= 0.743 kJ/kg-K. (Round the final answer to five decimal places.) The entropy change of nitrogen during this process is kJ/K.arrow_forward
