Answer the following true or false. Explain.
(a) A process that violates the second law of thermodynamics violates the first law of thermidynamics.
(b) When a net amount of work is done on a closed system undergoing an internally reversible process, a net heat transfer of energy from the system also occurs.
(c) One corollary of the second law of thermodynamics states that the change in entropy of a closed system must be greater than zero or equal to zero.
(d) A closed system can experience an increase in entropy only when irreversibilities are present within the system during the process.
(e) Entropy is produced in every internally reversible process of a closed system.
(f) In an adiabatic and internally reversible process of a closed system, the entropy remains constant.
(g) The energy of an isolated system must remain constant, but the entropy can only decrease.

Saturated vapor exits at 100 degrees Celcius with a velocity of 100 m/s. Heat transfer from the turbine to its surroundings takes place at the rate of 20 kJ/kg of steam at a location where the average surface temperature is 350K.

Determine the rate of entropy production in kj/kg*Kof steam, for an inlarged control volume that included the turbine and enough of its immediate surroundings so that heat transfer takes place from the…
