Question
In an ice-making plant, water (at a rate of 2500 kg/h) at 0°C is frozen at atmosphere pressure by
evaporating R-134a. 333.7 kJ/kg of heat is removed from water per unit mass in order to freeze it into
ice. The refrigerant enters as saturated liquid at -16°C, and leaves this evaporator as a saturated vapor.
If we take the R-134a and its immediate surroundings as a system, determine the rate of entropy
generation during the evaporation process.
