Problem $08\mathrm{.}054$E $-$ Mass flow rate and entropy generation during the process.

Steam enters a diffuser at $20$ psia and $240F$ with a velocity of $900f\frac{t}{s}$ and exits as saturated vapor at $240F$ and $100f\frac{t}{s}.$ The exit area of the diffuser is $1f{t}^2.$ Assume an ambient temperature of $69\mathrm{.}0F.$ Use data from the tables.

Problem $08\mathrm{.}054$E$.$b $-$ Rate of entropy generation for the process

Determine the rate of entropy generation during this process. $($Round the final answer to three decimal places.$)$

The rate of entropy generation is $q,$ Btu$/$s$*$R$.$
