Refrigerant 22 in a refrigeration system enters one side of a counterflow heat exchanger at 12 bar, 288C. The refrigerant exits at 12 bar, 208C. A separate stream of R-22 enters the other side of the heat exchanger as saturated vapor at 2 bar and exits as superheated vapor at 2 bar. The mass flow rates of the two streams are equal. Stray heat transfer from the heat exchanger to its surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. Determine the entropy production in the heat exchanger, in kJ/K per kg of refrigerant flowing. What gives rise to the entropy production in this application

Some liquids can be distilled, but only at temperatures that are so high that it is impractical, or so high the compound decomposes. explain why distillation such compounds at significantly less than atmospheric pressure (some degree of vacuum) would solve this problem.

Steam reforming of methane ( ch4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas, which is the starting point for many important industrial chemical syntheses. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 1.5 l flask with 3.5 atm of methane gas and 1.3 atm of water vapor at 43.0°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of carbon monoxide gas to be 1 .0 atm. calculate the pressure equilibrium constant for the steam reforming of methane at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
