2. There is a new SSSF device that uses saturated liquid water

2. There is a new SSSF device that uses saturated liquid water to produce superheated water vapor and compressed liquid water without any power input or output. The pipe diameters have been designed so that the inlet/outlet flow velocity change is negligible. A flow of saturated liquid water at 6 MPa enters the device at 17 kg/s. The device produces superheated water vapor at 300C, 5 MPa and 11 kg/s of 100C compressed liquid water at 5 MPa. The surroundings are constant at 400C. (a) Draw a schematic of this device. Write your assumptions. (b) Write the pertinent info for each inlet and outlet flow. Be sure to list tables used. (c) What is the heat transfer rate to/from this device (in kJ/s)? (d) Determine the rate of entropy generation? (e) Is this device operating reversibly, irreversibly, or is it impossible? Why?
