Problem 3(15 points)- Material Science and Entropy Generation.
Quenching in materials science and metallurgy is the rapid cooling of a workpiece to obtain desired material properties during manufacturing in which the reaction is both thermodynamically favorable and kinetically accessible on the phase diagram. Consider the quenching of a high-speedsteel machine part that has a mass of 3 kg , is initially at 900\({}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and is quenched in a 15 kg water bath initially at \(10^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The specific heat of high-speed-steel is \(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{s}}=0.54\mathrm{~kJ}/(\mathrm{kg}-\mathrm{K})\) and for water \(\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{w}}=4.2\mathrm{~kJ}/(\mathrm{kg}-\mathrm{K})\). Heat loss out of the steel/water system is negligible. Determine
(a) The temperature of the system at maximum entropy, in \({}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\).
(b) The entropy generated during the quenching process, in \(\mathrm{kJ}/\mathrm{K}\).
(c) The heat transfer from the steel to the water, in kJ .
