Answer

a) $Q=57600\ kJ$ b) $\dot{S}_{gen}=0.287\ W/K$

Work Step by Step

In 5 hours: $Q=\dot{Q}\Delta t,\quad\dot{Q}=3.2\ kJ/s$ $Q=57600\ kJ$ From the entropy balance: $\dfrac{\dot{Q_i}}{T_i}-\dfrac{\dot{Q}_e}{T_e}+\dot{S}_{gen}=0$ Given $T_e=276\ K,\ T_i=283\ K,\ \dot{Q}_i=\dot{Q}_e=3200\ W$ $\dot{S}_{gen}=0.287\ W/K$
