Find total change in entropy of universe due to cooling


Water in 50 liter rigid container is initially at 500 kPa and 350C. As the result of heat transfer the water obtains thermal equilibrium with the surrounding, which are at a temperature of 30C.

a) What is the change in entropy of the water going from state 1 to state 2?

b) If the surroundings are treated as a thermal reservoir, what is the total change in entropy of the universe due to this cooling process?
