Problem No: 1

A 50-kg iron block and a 20-kg copper block, both initially at 80C, are dropped into a large lake
at 15C. 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 20C, determine the amount of
work that could have been produced if the entire process were executed in a reversible manner.

Problem No: 2
Chickens with an average mass of 2.2 kg and average specific heat of 3.54 kJ/kg C are to be
cooled by chilled water that enters a continuous-flow-type immersion chiller at 0.5C and leaves
at 2.5C. Chickens are dropped into the chiller at a uniform temperature of 15C at a rate of 500
chickens per hour and are cooled to an average temperature of 3C before they are taken out. The
chiller gains heat from the surroundings at a rate of 200 kJ/h. Determine (a) the rate of heat
removal from the chicken, in kW, and (b) the rate of exergy destruction during this chilling
process. Take T=25C.

Problem No: 3
An ordinary egg can be approximated as a 5.5-cm diameter sphere. The egg is initially at a
uniform temperature of 8C and is dropped into boiling water at 97C. Taking the properties of
egg to be =1020 kg/m3 and cp= 3.32 kJ/kg C, determine how much heat is transferred to
the egg by the time the average temperature of the egg rises to 70C and the amount of exergy
destruction associated with this heat transfer process. Take T=25C
