Question:

A high-temperature reservoir at T = 375°C is to be used as the heat source for a steady-state heat engine, and a low-temperature reservoir at T = 25°C is to be used as the heat sink. The boiler takes in liquid water at P = 8 bar and T = 42°C and expels steam at P = 8 bar and T = 350°C. The condenser takes in steam at T = 100°C and P=0.1 bar and expels saturated liquid water at P = 0.1 bar. The mass flow rate of the steam throughout the process is 5 kg/s. Find the rate at which the entropy of the universe is increased by the processes in the boiler and the condenser.
