Refrigerant-134a enters a compressor as a saturated vapor at 160 kPa at a rate of 0.03 m3/s and leaves at 800 kPa. The power input to the compressor is 10 kW. If the surroundings at 20C experience an entropy increase of 0.008 kW/K, determine (a) the rate of heat loss from the compressor, (b) the exit temperature of the refrigerant, and (c) the rate of entropy generation.

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.
