3. An engineer has developed a condenser operating under a steady flow condition as shown below. Water enters the condenser as saturated vapor at a pressure of 150 kPa and a mass flow rate of \(3.6\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{hour}\). The water exits from the condenser at a temperature of \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and a pressure of 150 kPa . Heat is transferred from the condenser to the surrounding air. The surrounding air is at a temperature of \(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The condenser involves no work. Neglect the changes in the kinetic energy and potential energy. Determine
a. The rate of heat transfer from the condenser to the surrounding air;
b. The rate of total entropy generation during the process
3 . An engineer has developed a condenser
