Sound waves are introduced to a medium by a vibration. For example, a vibrating guitar string forces surrounding air molecules to be compressed and expanded. This creates a pressure disturbance consisting of an alternating bands of compressions and rarefactions. The vibration travels from particle to particle through the medium, transporting energy as it moves. The amount of energy which is transported past a given area of the medium per unit of time is known as the intensity of the sound wave and is reported as power area . All BUT one of these factors influence the intensity of a sound wave. That is A) the density of the medium. B) the amplitude of the wave. C) the source of the sound wave. D) your distance from the sound source.

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
