Question
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.
T₁ = i
(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.
