Entropy

In physics, entropy means the amount of disorder or the degree of randomness associated with a thermodynamic system. The system is not self-organized when the entropy of the system is high. For instance, when a system is at an elevated temperature, its molecules are in random motion, vibrating and colliding with each other. During this scenario, the probability of finding a molecule at a particular place twice, is low. Under this circumstance, the system can be said to be in a high entropy.

Water vapor at 100 kPa and 150°C is compressed isothermally until half the vapor has condensed. How much work must be performed on the steam in this compression process in kW if the mass flow rate is 6.132 kg/s? For the steam table, please refer to the green book entitled " Thermodynamic Properties of Water Including Vapor, Liquid, and Solid Phases"
Please provide a detailed solution, Don't just put the equation. It's important to provide an explanation.
Steam initially at 8 MPa and 600 ⁰C expands in a two-stage adiabatic turbine entering it with a mass flow rate of 13 kg/s as shown in the figure below. Some steam in the form of saturated vapor at 0.3 MPa is extracted at the end of the first stage with a mass flow rate of 1.3 kg/s, while the remaining part enters the second stage. At the end of the second stage, a saturated mixture with a quality of 0.85 at 10 kPa is produced. Calculate the power output of this turbine.
R-134a is a refrigerant, which is used inside of refrigerators and air conditioners. You can buy canisters of this as a compressed liquid, which can be used to recharge a leaky air conditioner. The canister initially contains 0.539 kg of R-134a at room temperature (25 °C). For simplicity, let's assume that the R-134a is initially saturated liquid. You use this canister to recharge an air conditioner, until the canister has half of its original mass remaining. The canister is upright with the exit on the top of the canister, so the exit flow is saturated vapor. In order to maintain the temperature at 25 °C, how much heat must be supplied to the canister? Note that this is why compressed liquid/gas canisters feel cold when you use them – they require heat - input to maintain constant T.
An insulated rigid tank is div led into two equal parts by a partition. Initially, one part contains 5 kmol of an ideal gas at 25 kPa and 40°C, and the other side is evacuated. The partition is now removed, and the gas fills he entire tank. Determine the total entropy change during the process.
