    Why does an electric motor at steady state have zero du/dt and dS/dt?

    For the following question, the solution manual sets du/dt (change of internal energy) = 0. Moreover, it also set the change of total entropy to zero. Why is that? An electric motor under steady load draws 9.7 amperes at 110 volts; it delivers 0.93 kW of mechanical energy. The temperature of...
