The rate of entropy change:

The rate of entropy change of the working fluid during the heat addition process is 3 kW/K

What is the Carnot cycle?

The Carnot Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle made up of reversible isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression, and adiabatic compression processes in succession.
The ratio of the heat absorbed to the temperature at which the heat was absorbed determines the change in entropy.

The entropy of a system:

The rate of heat addition is expressed as,

Q = $\frac{WT_{H}}{T_{H}- T_{L}}$

The entropy of a system is a measure of how disorderly a system is getting. The rate of entropy generation during heat addition is,

$S_{gen} = \frac{Q}{T_{H}} = \frac{W}{T_{H} - T_{L}}$

Calculation:

<u>Given:</u>

$T_{L}$ = 400K

$T_{H}$ = 1600K

W = 3600 kW

Put all the values in the above equation, and we get,

$S_{gen} = \frac{W}{T_{H} - T_{L}}$ = $\frac{3600}{1600-400}$ = 3 kW/K

The rate of entropy change is 3 kW/K
