Two rigid tanks are connected by a valve. Tank A contains 0.6 m^3 of water at 330 kPa and 90 percent quality. Tank B contains 0.5 m^3 of water at 250 kPa and 250 ∘C. The valve is then opened, and the two tanks eventually come to equilibrium while exchanging heat with the surroundings at 25 ∘C. Determine the final pressure, heat transfer, and entropy generation.
One ton of liquid water at 80°C is brought into a wellinsulated and well-sealed 4-m × 5-m × 7-m room initially at 22°C and 100 kPa. Assuming constant specific heats for both air and water at room temperature, determine the total entropy change during this process, in kJ/K.
A 0.8-m3 rigid tank contains carbon dioxide (CO2) gas at 250 K and 100 kPa. A 500-W electric resistance heater placed in the tank is now turned on and kept on for 40 min, after which the pressure of CO2 is measured to be 175 kPa. Assuming the surroundings to be at 300 K and using constant specific heats, determine the entropy generation during this process.
Water is contained in a closed rigid tank at an initial pressure of 1200 kPa.

Liquid water at 200 kPa and 15°C is heated in a chamber by mixing it with superheated steam at 200 kPa and 150°C. Liquid water enters the mixing chamber at a rate of 4.3 kg/s, and the chamber is estimated to lose heat to the surrounding air at 20°C at a rate of 1200 kJ/min. If the mixture leaves the mixing chamber at 200 kPa and 80°C, determine the rate of entropy generation during this mixing process
Twokg of saturated water vapor at 600 kPa are contained in a piston–cylinder device. The water expands adiabatically until the pressure is 100 kPa and is said to produce 700 kJ of work output. Determine the entropy change of the water, in kJ/kg·K.
