An insulated mixing chamber is used to heat liquid water to a saturated liquid by adding superheated steam. The liquid water enters at 1000 kPa, a temperature of 150°C, and a mass flow rate of 20 kg/s. The superheated steam enters at 1000 kPa and 340°C. The combined stream exits as a saturated liquid at 1000 kPa. (a) Determine the entropy generation rate for the mixing chamber. (b) Plot the entropy generation rate for the mixing chamber as a function of steam inlet temperature, for steam inlet temperatures ranging from 320°C to 500°C.
