Two blocks of metal come into contact with one another. Given the following data: Block one Specific heat = 0.131 kcal/(kg°C) Mass = 0.132 kg Initial temperature = 24 °C Block two Specific heat = 0.17 kcal/(kg°C) Mass = 0.141 kg Initial temperature = 70 °C What is the final temperature (in °C) of the two blocks after they reach equilibrium?

Two metal blocks had equal mass. What would be the equilibrium temperature (in K to the nearest whole number) if you placed a 450 K Zn metal block (cs = 0.39 J g-1 °C-1) in contact with a 290 K copper metal block (cs = 0.385 J g-1 °C-1), assuming heat is only transferred between the metal blocks?

There are two metal blocks: one at 300 °C and the other at 100 °C. After putting them in close contact, the heat transfer between the two blocks occurred and finally reached the same temperature at the end. The two blocks are contained within good insulation, and thus there is no other heat transfer involved. We know the mass, m, is the same for both blocks as 5 kg, and Cp is the same as 1.0 kJ/(kg·K). Please: 1) calculate the final temperature of the two blocks, T2, in K; and 2) the produced entropy during the heat transfer, σ, in kJ/K.

Two 10 -lbm blocks of steel, one at $400 \mathrm{F}$ and the other at $70 \mathrm{F}$, come in thermal contact. Find the final temperature and the total entropy generation in the process.
