Answer

$T_2=140°F$

Work Step by Step

From the material balance: $m_i-m_e=m_2-m_1,\quad m_e=m_1=0$ $m_i=m_2$ From the entropy balance $m_2s_2-m_1s_1+m_es_e-m_is_i\geq0$ $m_2s_2-m_is_i\geq0$ $s_2\geq s_i$ Minimum temperature occurs at the equality:$s_2=s_i$ $s_2-s_i= c_p\ln\left(\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\right)-R\ln\left(\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\right)=0$ Constant pressure: $\ln\left(\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\right)=0$ $T_2=T_1=140°F$
