Problem 7-24 Air is compressed by a 30 kW compressor from P1 to P2. The air temperature is maintained constant at 25 C during this process as a result of heat transfer to the surrounding medium at 17 C. Determine the rate of entropy change of the air. State the assumptions made in solving this problem.

Problem 7-32 A well-insulated rigid tank contains 5 kg of a saturated liquidvapor mixture of water at 150 kPa. Initially, three-quarters of the mass is in the liquid phase. An electric resistance heater placed in the tank is now turned on and kept on until all the liquid in the tank is vaporized. Determine the entropy change of the steam during this process.

Problem 7-61E A 0.8 ft well-insulated rigid can initialially contains R-134a at 140 psia and 50 F. Now a crack develops in the can, and the refrigerant starts to leak out slowly. Assuming the refrigerant remaining in the can has undergone a reversible, adiabatic process, determine the final mass in the can when the pressure drops to 30 psia.
