Long cylindrical steel rods (p=7833kg/m3 and cp=0.465kJ/kg*°C) of 8-cm diameter are heat treated by drawing them at a velocity of 4m/min through an 8-m-long oven maintained at 900°C. If the rods enter the oven at 25°C and leave at 750°C, determine (a) the rate of heat transfer to the rods in the oven and (b) the rate of entropy generation associated with this heat transfer process.
