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.

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 2 lb of water, initially at 100 lbf/in.2 and 600°F. The water undergoes two processes in series: a constant-pressure process followed by a constant volume process. At the end of the constant-volume process, the temperature is 300°F and the water is a two-phase liquid–vapor mixture with a quality of 50%. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects. Determine the work and heat transfer for each process, all in Btu.
