Heat flows through a wall of a house at a steady-state on a day when the temperature of the outdoor air is 1°C and the air inside the house is maintained at 23°C. The temperatures of the inner surface of the wall is 4°C cooler than indoor air temperature. And the temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 2°C warmer than the outdoor air temperature. The rate of heat transfer through the wall is 900W. Determine the rate of total entropy generation associated with this heat transfer process (in W/K).
