Answer:
The total rate of entropy generation is 6.665 W/K
Explanation:
Power input = current × voltage = 9.7 × 110 = 1067 W
Power output = 1.25 hp = 1.25 × 746 = 932.5 W
Total power = 1067 + 932.5 = 1999.5 W
Total rate of entropy generation = total power ÷ temperature of the surrounding = 1999.5 W ÷ 300 K = 6.665 W/K
