Answer

$T_2=16.4°C=289.4\ K$ $\Delta S_{total}=1.52\ kJ/K$

Work Step by Step

From the energy balance: $[mc(T_2-T_1)]_{Cu}+[mc(T_2-T_1)]_{H_2O}=0$ $m_{H_2O}=\rho V,\ \rho=997\ kg/m^3,\ V=0.090\ m^3$ $m_{H_2O}=89.73\ kg$ Given $c_{H_2O}=4.18\ kJ/kg.K,\ c_{Cu}=0.386\ kJ/kg.K$(Table A-3), $m_{Cu}=50\ kg, T_{1,Cu}=140°C,\ T_{1,H_2O=10°C}$ solving for the final temperature $T_2=16.4°C=289.4\ K$ Entropy generated $\Delta S=mc\ln\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)$ Cu: $\Delta S=-6.864\ kJ/K$ $H_2O$: $\Delta S=8.388\ kJ/K$ $\Delta S_{total}=\Delta S_{Cu}+\Delta S_{H_2O}$ $\Delta S_{total}=1.52\ kJ/K$
