Air in a large building is kept warm by heating it with steam in a heat exchanger. Saturated water vapor enters this unit at 35°C at a rate of 10,000 kg/h and leaves as saturated liquid at 32°C. Air at 1-atm pressure enters the unit at 20°C and leaves at 30°C at about the same pressure. Determine the rate of entropy generation associated with this process.
Steam is to be condensed in the condenser of a steam power plant at a temperature of 60°C with cooling water from a nearby lake, which enters the tubes of the condenser at 18°C at a rate of 75 kg/s and leaves at 27°C. Assuming the condenser to be perfectly insulated, determine the rate of entropy generation in the condenser.
Air enters the evaporator section of a window air conditioner at 100 kPa and 27C with a volume flow rate of 6 m3/min. The refrigerant-134a at 120 kPa with a quality of 0.3 enters the evaporator at a rate of 2 kg/min and leaves as saturated vapor at the same pressure. Determine the exit temperature of the air and the rate of entropy generation for this process, assuming (a) the outer surfaces of the air conditioner are insulated and (b) heat is transferred to the evaporator of the air conditioner from the surrounding medium at 32C at a rate of 30 kJ/min.
