Using Isentropic Processes/EfficienciesAmmonia enters a

Chapter 6, Problem 160P

(choose chapter or problem)

Ammonia enters a valve as saturated liquid at 9 bar and undergoes a throttling process to a pressure of 2 bar. Determine the rate of entropy production per unit mass of ammonia flowing, in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}\). If the valve were replaced by a power-recovery turbine operating at steady state, determine the maximum theoretical power that could be developed per unit mass of ammonia flowing, in kJ/kg, and comment. In each case, ignore heat transfer with the surroundings and changes in kinetic and potential energy.
