Answer

$s_{gen}=0.0475\ Btu/lbm.°R$

Work Step by Step

From the entropy balance: $\dot{m}_1s_1-\dot{m}_2s_2+\dot{S}_{gen}=0$ $\dot{S}_{gen}=\dot{m}(s_2-s_1)$ $s_{gen}=s_2-s_1$ From tables A-11E to A-13E: Inlet ($P_1=100\ psia, T_1=100°F$): $s_1=0.22902\ Btu/lbm.°R$ Outlet ($P_2=10\ psia, x_2=1$): $s_2=0.22949\ Btu/lbm.°R$ $s_{gen}=0.0475\ Btu/lbm.°R$
