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:
the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Volume = 4L = 0.004 m³
V = V
= 0.002 m³
Using Table ( saturated water - pressure table);
at pressure p = 175 kPa;
v = 0.001057 m³/kg
v = 1.0037 m³/kg
u = 486.82 kJ/kg
u 2524.5 kJ/kg
h = 2700.2 kJ/kg
So the initial mass of the water;
m₁ = V/v
+ V
/v
we substitute
m₁ = 0.002/0.001057 + 0.002/1.0037
m₁ = 1.89414 kg
Now, the final mass will be;
m₂ = V/v
m₂ = 0.004 / 1.0037
m₂ = 0.003985 kg
Now, mass leaving the pressure cooker is;
m = m₁ - m₂
m = 1.89414 - 0.003985
m = 1.890155 kg
so, Initial internal energy will be;
U₁ = mu
+ m
u
U₁ = (V/v
)u
+ (V
/v
)u
we substitute
U₁ = (0.002/0.001057)(486.82) + (0.002/1.0037)(2524.5)
U₁ = 921.135288 + 5.030387
U₁ = 926.165675 kJ
Now, using Energy balance;
E - E
= ΔE
QΔt - mh
= m₂u₂ - U₁
QΔt - mh
= m₂u
- U₁
given that time = 75 min = 75 × 60s = 4500 sec
so we substitute
Q(4500) - ( 1.890155 × 2700.2 ) = ( 0.003985 × 2524.5 ) - 926.165675
Q(4500) - 5103.7965 = 10.06013 - 926.165675
Q(4500) = 10.06013 - 926.165675 + 5103.7965
Q(4500) = 4187.690955
Q = 4187.690955 / 4500
Q = 0.9306 kW
Therefore, the highest rate of heat transfer allowed is 0.9306 kW
