A system initially contains 2 lb of liquid water at 110ºF and 0.4 lb of ice at 32 ºF. The system attains an equilibrium state, while pressure remains constant at 1 atm. For water, the specific enthalpy change for a phase change from solid to liquid at 1 atm is 144 Btu/lb. If heat transfer with the surroundings is negligible, determine
(a) the final temperature, in ºF
(b) the amount of entropy produced in the process, in Btu/ºR.
