Liquid water at 325 K and 8000 kPa flows into a boiler at a rate of 10 kg-s-¹ and is vaporized, producing saturated vapor at 8000 kPa. What is the maximum fraction of the heat added to the water in the boiler that can be converted into work in a process whose product is water at the initial conditions, if To = 300 K? What happens to the rest of the heat? What is the rate of entropy change in the surroundings as a result of the work-producing process? In the system? Total?

Liquid water at 325 K and 8000 kPa flows into a boiler at a rate of 10 kg-s-¹ and is
vaporized, producing saturated vapor at 8000 kPa. What is the maximum fraction of
the heat added to the water in the boiler that can be converted into work in a process
whose product is water at the initial conditions, if To = 300 K? What happens to the
rest of the heat? What is the rate of entropy change in the surroundings as a result of
the work-producing process? In the system? Total?
