In a heat-treating process, a 1-kg metal part, initially at 1075 K, is quenched in a closed tank containing 100 kg of water, ini
tially at 295 K. There is negligible heat transfer between the contents of the tank and their surroundings. Modeling the metal part and water as incompressible with constant specific heats 0.5 kJ/kg K and 4.4 kJ/kg K, respectively, determine the final equilibrium temperature after quenching, in K.

Answer:
138.9 °C
Explanation:
The datum of quality is saying to us that liquid water is in equilibrium with steam. Saturated water table gives information about this liquid-vapour equilibrium. In figure attached, it can be seen that at 350 kPa of pressure (or 3.5 bar) equilibrium temperature is 138.9 °C
