[2] A reservoir of hot water kept at 380K is well insulated except for a copper rod with a cross sectional area of 0.25 m? and a length of 0.50 meters. The rod is also well insulated except for its ends and the other end is in a second well insulated reservoir of water held at 280K. a) Determine the rate of heat flow through the copper rod. b) Calculate the temperature at the center of the rod (0.25 meters from either end). Then extend the process to find the temperature at each point 0.1m along the rod. c) Calculate the rate of entropy change at each end of the rod. d) Using your answer for (c), show that the statements "Heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature." and "Any spontaneous process causes the entropy of the universe to increase." are logically equivalent for situations with heat flow. e) Each reservoir of water holds 1 m of water. With a steady flow established, the power fails so that the heating and cooling of the water ceases. What are the…

(English Unit) A 100-pound meat is moved to the cold storage room. During preparation for storage, the meat may warm up to 45°F. That means the meat must be cooled to 32°F before it will begin to freeze. The average latent heat of fusion amounts to about 90 Btu/lb for meat. After freezing, the meat is subcooled to the quick-freeze temperature of 14 oF. The meat has a specific heat below and above freezing point of 0.7 and 0.4 Btu/ lb-oR, respectively. Find the total heat removed from cooling BTU.
