QUESTION:
By injecting liquid water into superheated steam, the desuperheater shown in Fig. P6.86 has a saturated vapor stream at its exit. Steady-state operating data are provided in the accompanying table. Stray heat transfer and all kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. (a) Locate states 1, 2, and 3 on a sketch of the T–s diagram. (b) Determine the rate of entropy production within the desuperheater, in kW/K.
ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 4
In this problem, we have to find the rate of entropy production and sketch and locate it on the T-s diagram.
