Make 9.42 in the hardcover or 9.33 in the softcover. In
addition to what is asked, construct the phases at 2, 3, and 4 in
three separate diagrams. In the diagrams, list no more than is
needed to construct the phase, but do list the values of the
curves/points used.
R-134a at 1MPa and 30C passes through an adiabatic expansion
valve in which the pressure decreases to standard atmospheric
pressure. Construct the initial phase in the diagram. In the
diagram, list no more than is needed to construct the phase, but do
list the values of the curves/points used. Then find the final
quality and the entropy generated.
Steam at 15 kPa and a quality of 90% enters a constant pressure
condenser at a rate of 3 kg/s and exits it as saturated liquid. The
heat is transferred to cooling water with an average temperature of
17C. What is the entropy generated?
Air at 1000 kPa and 500 K enters an isobaric heat exchanger at a
rate of 0.2 kg/s and exits at 300 K, having been cooled down by the
ambient air at 300 K. Find the total rate of entropy generation.
Use constant specific heats from table A.5, not table A.7.1.
