Applying the Second Law to Reacting Systems

An inventor has developed a device that at steady state takes in liquid water at 25°C, 1 atm with a mass flow rate of 4 kg/h and produces separate streams of hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2), each at 25°C, 1 atm. The inventor claims that the device requires an electrical power input of 14.6 kW when operating isothermally at 25°C. Heat transfer with the surroundings occurs, but kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Evaluate the inventor’s claim.
