Why does increasing the heat under a pan of boiling water not decrease the cooking time for hard-boiled eggs? (select all that apply.) increasing the heat under the pan will not raise the water temperature increasing the heat under the pan will raise the temperature, but eggs are not affected by this increasing the heat under the pan will only evaporate water faster increasing the heat under the pan will raise the pan temperature, but not affect the eggs increasing the heat under the pan will increase the boiling point of water and therefore not affect the eggs

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
