TUTORIAL 06

1. The entropy of a hot baked potato decreases as it cools. Is this a violation of the increase
of entropy principle? Explain.

2. Is it possible to create entropy? Is it possible to destroy it?

3. Is it possible for the entropy change of a closed system to be zero during an irreversible
process? Explain.

4. Air is compressed by a 12 kW compressor from P1 to P2. The air temperature is


maintained constant at 25oC during this process as a result of heat transfer to the
surrounding medium at 10oC. Determine the rate of entropy change of the air. State the
assumption made in solving this problem.

5. During the isothermal heat addition process of a Carnot cycle, 900 kJ of heat is added to
the working fluid from a source at 400oC. Determine:
a) The entropy change of the working fluid
b) The entropy change of the source
c) The total entropy change for the process.

6. Refrigerant-134a enters the coils of the evaporator of a refrigeration system as a saturated


liquid-vapor mixture at a pressure of 200 kPa. The refrigerant absorbs 120 kJ of heat from
the cooled space, which is maintained at -5oC, and leaves as saturated vapor at the same
pressure. Determine:
a) The entropy change of the refrigerant
b) The entropy change of the cooled space
c) The total entropy change for this process.

7. The radiator of a steam heating system has a volume of 20 L and is filled with superheated
water vapor at 200 kPa and 200oC. At this moment both the inlet and the exit valves to
the radiator are closed. After a while the temperature of the steam drops to 80 oC as a
result of heat transfer to the room air. Determine the entropy change of the steam during
this process in kJ/K.

8. A 0.5 m3 rigid tank contains refrigerant-134a initially at 200 kPa and 25 percent quality.
Heat is transferred now to the refrigerant from a source at 35 oC until the pressure rises to
400 kPa. Determine:
a) The entropy change of the refrigerant
b) The entropy change of the heat source
c) The total entropy change for this process.

9. An insulated piston-cylinder device contains 5 L of saturated liquid water at a constant


pressure of 150 kPa. An electric resistance heater inside the cylinder is now turned on,
and 2200 kJ of energy is transferred to the steam. Determine the entropy change of the
water during this process in kJ/K.

10. Air is compressed in a piston-cylinder device from 90 kPa and 20oC to 400 kPa in a
reversible isothermal process. Determine:
a) The entropy change of air
b) The work done.

11. Air is compressed in a piston-cylinder device from 100 kPa and 17oC to 800 kPa in a
reversible, adiabatic process. Determine the final temperature and the work done during
this process, assuming:
a) Constant specific heats
b) Variable specific heats for air.

12. A quantity of gas has an initial pressure, volume and temperature of 140 kPa, 0.14 m3, and
25oC respectively. It is compressed to a pressure of 1.4 kPa according to the law
PV1.25 = constant, determine the change of entropy.
