Superheated steam enters one section of an open end feed water heater at 5bar and 240 c with a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s. compressed liquid water at the same pressure and 35 C enters another inlet. The mixture of these two streams leaves as a saturated liquid at the same pressure. If the heater is adiabatic, calculate the entropy generation rate for the process.
