A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 400K. During a constant pressure, process, 960 kJ of heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 300K. As a result, part of the water vapor contained in the cylinder condenses. Determine the total entropy generation during this process in kJ/K.

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.
