Question
Two identical piston cylinder devices A and B both contain 1 kg of saturated water mixture at the quality ofx = 0.5 at the pressure of p = 100 kPa.
Both systems are heated until the quality of the systems reach to x 0.8. However, the system in cylinder A undergoes an internally irreversible heating
process but the heating in cylinder B takes place in a reversible manner. At the end of the processes when thermodynamic equilibrium is reached both
systems have the same pressure of p = 100 kPa.
a) What can be said about the entropy change AS of the systems A and B during these processes ? Compare them in terms of magnitude. Please explain
your answer.
(You do not need to calculate the exact number for the entropy change)
b) Compare the two processes in terms of entropy generation. If you can express the magnitude of Sgen for any of those processes please do.
