Liquid n-Butane (C.H10) at 25°C enters a combustion chamber at a rate of 0.9 kg/min and is burned completely with 130% excess air that enters the combustion chamber at 290 K and 100 kPa, and the exit temperature of the combustion gases is 1280 K. Determine the entropy generation of the process per kmole of fuel, and the maximum work potential (reversible) per kg of the n- Butane fuel.

A 2.00-mol sample of H2 gas is contained in the left side of the container shown below, which has equal volumes on the left and right. The right side is evacuated. When the valve is opened, the gas streams into the right side. (a) What is the entropy change of the gas? (b) Does the temperature of the gas change? Assume the container is so large that the hydrogen behaves as an ideal gas. (Wouldn't the temperature decrease because the temperature in a vacuum would be really cold?)
A large factory furnace maintained at 170 ∘C at its outer surface is wrapped in an insulating blanket of thermal conductivity 5.50×10−2 W/(m⋅K) which is thick enough that the outer surface of the insulation is at 43.0 ∘C while heat escapes from the furnace at a steady rate of 140 W for each square meter of surface area. By how much does each square meter of the furnace change the entropy of the factory every second?
How much energy must be transferred as heat for a reversible isothermal expansion of an ideal gas at 132°C if the entropy of the gas increases by 46.0 K
A block made of cobalt with a mass of 0.80 kg is heated to 850°C, then dropped into 5.00 kg of water at 10°C. What is the total change in entropy (in J/K) of the block-water system, assuming no energy is lost by heat from this system to the surroundings? The specific heat of cobalt is 420 J/(kg · K), and the specific heat of water is 4,186 J/(kg · K). (Hint: note that dQ = mcdT.)
A 100-lbm block of a solid material whose specific heat is 0.5 Btu/lbm·R is at 80°F. It is heated with 10 lbm of saturated water vapor that has a constant pressure of 20 psia. Determine the final temperature of the block and water, and the entropy change of the entire system. Is this process possible? Why?
