Answer

$\dot{S}_{\text {gen,wall }}=0.187 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{K}$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} & \underbrace{\dot{S}_{\text {in }}-\dot{S}_{\text {out }}}_{\begin{array}{c} \text { of net entropy tensfer } \\ \text { by heat and mass } \end{array}}+\underbrace{\dot{S}_{\text {gen }}}_{\begin{array}{c} \text { Rate of entropy } \\ \text { generation } \end{array}}=\underbrace{\Delta \dot{S}_{\text {system }}}_{\begin{array}{c} \text { Rateof change } \\ \text { of entropy } \end{array}}=0 \\ & \frac{\dot{Q}_{\text {in }}}{T_{\text {b in }}}-\frac{\dot{Q}_{\text {out }}}{T_{\text {b }, \text { out }}}+\dot{S}_{\text {gen }, \text { wall }}=0 \\ & \frac{1250 \mathrm{~W}}{289 \mathrm{~K}}-\frac{1250 \mathrm{~W}}{277 \mathrm{~K}}+\dot{S}_{\text {gen }, \text { wall }}=0 \\ & \dot{S}_{\text {gen,wall }}=0.187 \mathrm{~W} / \mathrm{K} \\ & \end{aligned} $$Therefore, the rate of entropy generation in the wall is $0.187 \mathrm{~Wù} / \mathrm{K}$.
