Chapter 8.8, Problem 44P
A 50-kg iron block and a 20-kg copper block, both initially at 80°C, are dropped into a large lake at 15°C. Thermal equilibrium is established after a while as a result of heat transfer between the blocks and the lake water. Assuming the surroundings to be at 20°C, determine the amount of work that could have been produced if the entire process were executed in a reversible manner.

An insulated vertical cylinder-piston device contains 0.8 m3 of refrigerant 134a at 1.2 MPa and 120 ° C. With a linear (compression) spring, all of its force is applied to the plunger at that moment. A valve connected to the cylinder opens and refrigerant escapes. The spring is loosened as the plunger is lowered, and the pressure and volume drop to 0.6 MPa and 0.5 m3, at the end of the process. Determine:
a) the amount of refrigerant that escaped
b) the final temperature of the coolant
Oxygen (molar mass 32 k g / k m o l ) expands reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston at a constant pressure of 3.06 bar. The volume initially is 0.01 m3 and finally is 0.0314 m3; the initial temperature is 17 0C. Calculate the work input during the expansion with the correct unit. Assume oxygen to be a perfect gas and take the specific heat at constant pressure as = 0 . 9 1 7 k J / k g K.
A 50-kg block of iron casting at 500 K is thrown into a large lake that is at a temperature of 285 K. The iron block eventually reaches thermal equilibrium with the lake water. Assuming an average specific heat of 0.45 kJ/kg·K for the iron, determine the entropy generated during this process.
