Answer

$\dot{S}_{gen}=0.1025\ kW/K$

Work Step by Step

The entropy balance for this system: $\dot{S}_{in}-\dot{S}_{out}+\dot{S}_{gen}=\Delta \dot{S}_{sys} = 0\ \mbox{(steady state)}$ $\dot{S}_{gen}=\dot{m}(s_2-s_1)$ For the ideal gas: $\dot{m}=\dfrac{P_1\pi D_1^2\mathcal{V}_1}{4RT_1}$ Given $P_1=240\ kPa,\ T_1=293\ K,\ R=0.2598\ kJ/kg.K,\ D_1=0.12\ m,\ \mathcal{V}_1=70\ m/s$ $\dot{m}=2.496\ kg/s$ For an ideal gas: $s_2-s_1=c_p\ln\left(\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)-R\ln\left(\frac{P_2}{P_1}\right)$ With $T_2=291\ K,\ c_p=0.918\ kJ/kg.K,\ P_2=200\ kPa$ $s_2-s_1=0.04108\ kJ/kg.K$ Therefore: $\dot{S}_{gen}=0.1025\ kW/K$
