Answer

$s_{gen}=0.134\ kJ/kg.K$

Work Step by Step

From the entropy balance for the steady state: $\dot{S}_{in}-\dot{S}_{out}+\dot{S}_{gen}=0$ $\dot{S}_{gen}=\dot{m}(s_2-s_1)$ $s_{gen}=s_2-s_1$ $s_{gen} = c_p\ln\left(\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}\right)-R\ln\left(\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\right)$ Given $c_p=1.047\ kJ/kg.K,\ R=0.2968\ kJ/kg.K,\ T_2=563K,\ T_1=298K$ $P_2=600\ kPa,\ P_1=100\ kPa$: $s_{gen}=0.134\ kJ/kg.K$
