7-145 Liquid water at 200 kPa and 20°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 2.5 kg/s, and the chamber is estimated to lose heat to the surrounding air at 25°C at a rate of 1200 kJ/min. If the mixture leaves the mixing chamber at 200 kPa and 60°C, determine a) the mass flow rate of the superheated steam and b) the rate of entropy generation during this mixing process. | |
