Simple question on Thermodynamics: A 30-lb iron casting, initially at 600°F, is quenched in a tank filled with 2121 lb of oil, initially at 80°F. The iron casting and oil can be modeled as incompressible with specific heats 0.10 Btu/lb · °R, and 0.45 Btu/lb · °R, respectively. (a) For the iron casting and oil as the system,determine the final equilibrium temperature, in °F. (Ignore heat transfer between the system and its surroundings.)  (b) For the iron casting and oil as the system,determine the amount of entropy produced within the tank, in Btu/°R. (Ignore heat transfer between the system and its surroundings.)
