Concept explainers
a)
The final equilibrium temperature.
a)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of the water
The initial temperature of the water
The volume of the room
The initial temperature of the room
Calculation;
Refer the Table A-2, “Ideal-gas specific heats of various common gases”, obtain the properties for air.
Calculate the mass of the air.
Refer the Table A-3, “Properties of common liquids, solids, and foods”,
The specific heat of water
Write the expression for the energy balance equation for closed system.
Here, energy transfer into the control volume is
Substitute 0 for
Thus, the final equilibrium temperature is
b)
The amount of heat transfer to the air.
b)
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the heat transfer
Thus, the amount of heat transfer to the air is
c)
The entropy generation.
c)
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the final pressure
Write the expression for the entropy balance equation of the system.
Here, rate of net entropy in is
Substitute
Thus, the entropy generation is
