Question:
An open feedwater heater is a direct-contact heat exchanger used in vapor power plants. Shown in figure below are operating data for an open feedwater heater with {eq}H_{2}O {/eq} as the working fluid operating at a steady-state. Ignoring stray heat transfer from the outside of the heat exchanger to its surroundings and kinetic and potential energy, effects, determine the rate of entropy production, in kW/K.
