A pressure cooker 6 litres in volume contains 5 kg of water, where the liquid is in equilibrium with the vapour above it, at 30°C. The cooker with its lid closed and weight on, is heated until the vapour produced results in an increase in pressure, and the weight just lifts up at 2 bar. i. If the flame heating the cooker is at 400°C, calculate the entropy generation due to the external irreversibility. Calculate the heat transferred in the process. ii. Assume that the heating of water is reversible; neglect heating of the cooker body; assume heat transfer to water takes place at its average temperature for the above process. Use property data given below.
