Help me solve both for my homework. Thank you!
Problem 3
During the isothermal heat rejection process of a Carnot cycle, the working fluid experiences an entropy
change of -0.9 Btu/R. If the temperature of the heat sink is 110°F, determine (a) the amount of heat transfer,
(b) the entropy change of the sink, and (c) the total entropy change for this process.
Problem 4
1.5-lbm of water at 350 psia fill a weighted piston-cylinder device whose volume is 1 ft³. The water is
then heated at constant pressure until the temperature reaches 550°F. Determine the resulting change in the
water's total entropy.
