Air enters a nozzle with a speed of 50 m/s at 77 °C and 280 kPa. The air flows through the turbine at 0.5 kg/s. The exit pressure is 85 kPa, and the speed of the air at the exit is 320 m/s. Heat is lost to the surroundings at a rate of 1.6 kW. If the surroundings and surface of the nozzle maintain a constant temperature of 293 K, determine the rate of entropy generation for this process.

A hydroelectric power plant uses Pelton-type turbines, in which multiple nozzles are used to accelerate the waterwhich is directed onto the turbine blades, which are exposed to an atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa. The water enters the nozzles with an absolute pressure of 500 kPa and a speed of 5 m/s, and the nozzle outlets are exposed to atmospheric pressure and have an internal diameter of 5 cm.
