A cold region is maintained at the temperature TL below the environment temperature T0 by the steady operation of an irreversible refrigeration machine. The refrigeration load \dot{A_L} is attributed to the leakage of heat from T0 to TL. Prove that the total mechanical power demanded by this machine (\dot{W}) is equal to T0 times the total rate of entropy generation (\dot{S}gen), where (\dot{S}gen) equals the entropy generated by the irreversible refrigeration and by the leakage of \dog{A_L} from T0 to TL.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
