1.

One kg of air at 100 kPa is mixed with one kg air at 200 kPa, both at 300
K, in a rigid insulated tank. Find the final state (P, T) and the entropy
generation in the process.

2. A window receives 200 W of heat transfer at the inside surface of 20 oC

and transmits the 200 W from its outside surface at 2oC continuing to
ambient air at 5oC. Find the flux of entropy at all three surfaces and the
windows rate of entropy generation.

3. A rigid storage tank of 1.5 m3 contains 1 kg argon at 30C. Heat is then

transferred to the argon from a furnace operating at 1300C until the
specific entropy of the argon has increased by 0.343 kJ/kg K. Find the
total heat transfer and the entropy generated in the process.

4. A 2-kg/s flow of steam at 1 MPa, 700C should be brought to 500C by

spraying in liquid water at 1 MPa, 20C in an steady flow. Find the rate of
irreversibility, assuming that surroundings are at 20C.

5. A heat engine operating with an evironment at 298 K produces 5 kW of

power output with a first law efficiency of 50%. It has a second law
efficiency of 80% and TL = 310 K. Find all the energy and exergy transfers
in and out.

6. Evaluate the steady state exergy fluxes due to a heat transfer of 250 W
through a wall with 600 K on one side and 400 K on the other side. What
is the exergy destruction in the wall.
