A simple fluid flows through a pipe under steady state conditions with no work and negligible kinetic and potantial energy changes. Heat is added to this fluid through steps a, b, c and d as shown in the figure. Dueinf this process, fluid at 44.4C and 1,5 MPa is heated at complety transfrom to superheated vapor at 125C and 1023kPa. tHE ENTHALPY OF THE FLUD AT PONT B hB S GVEN AS 35KJ/MOL AND THAT AT PONT C hC S GVEN 64kJ/MOL AT 72c AND 4MPa. The fluid follows the ideal gas equation of state both in the liquid and vapor phases nd has constant specific heat given CPl/R=8.9 for the liquid and Cpig/R=4.4 for the vapor. Calculate the total change in the entropy of 1 mole of this fluid between point a and d in J/K.
