    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
