Question: A 2 5 - kg iron block initially at 3 5 0 C is quenched in an insulated tank that contains 1 0 0 kg

A 25-kg iron block initially at 350C is quenched in an insulated tank that contains 100 kg of water at 18C. Assuming the water that vaporizes during the process condenses back in the tank, determine the total entropy change during this process. Take the specific heats of water and iron to be 4.18 kJ/kg-K and 0.45 kJ/kg-K, respectively. How could the iron block be cooled to 18C will almost no change in entropy of the universe? (Ans: 4.08 kJ/K)
