8. When supplying heated air for a building, one often chooses to mix in some fresh outside air with air that has been heated fr
om the building as it passes through the furnace. An insulated mixing chamber is used to combine two streams of air to be used in a building. One stream of air, brought from the outside, enters at 2 kg/s, at a pressure of 120 kPa, and a temperature of 5oC. The second stream of air, coming from the building’s furnace, has a mass flow rate of 8 kg/s, a pressure of 120 kPa, and a temperature of 35oC. The combined stream is then delivered to the warm space at 120 kPa. Determine the rate of entropy generation for this mixing chamber.

Answer:
Explanation:
given data:
pressure 1 MPa
diameter of pipe = 30 cm
average velocity = 10 m/s
area of pipe
A = 0.070 m2
WE KNOW THAT mass flow rate is given as
for pressure 1 MPa, the density of steam is = 4.068 kg/m3
therefore we have
