7-40 Refrigerant-134a at 320 kPa and 40°C undergoes an
isothermal process in a closed system until its quality is 45
percent. On per unit mass basis, determine how much work
and heat transfer are required. Answers: 40.6 ki/kg, 130 ki/kg
7-52 2-kg of saturated water vapor at 600 kPa are con-
ined in a piston-cylinder device. The water expands adia~
batically until the pressure is 100 kPa and is said to produce
700 kJ of work output.
(a) Determine the entropy change of the water, in kI/kg-K.
(b) Is this process realistic? Using the T-s diagram for the
process and the concepts of second law, support your
answer.
7-65 A 30-kg iron block and a 40-kg copper block, both
initially at 80°C, are dropped into a large lake at 15°C. Ther-
mal equilibrium is established afier a while as a result of heat
transfer between the blocks and the lake water. Determine the
total entropy change for this process.

Isc7-69C An ideal gas undergoes a process between two
specified temperatures, first at constant pressure and then at
constant volume. For which case will the ideal gas experience
a larger entropy change? Explain.
7-97 A container filled with 45 kg of liquid water at 95°C
is placed in a 90-m? room that is initially at 12°C. Thermal
equilibrium is established after a while as a result of heat
transfer between the water and the air in the room. Using
constant specific heats, determine (a) the final equilibrium
temperature, (b) the amount of heat transfer between the
water and the air in the room, and (c) the entropy generation.
Assume the room is well sealed and heavily insulated.
