One of the ways that scientists determine the distance between Earth and other objects in space is to send light waves toward an object and measure how long it takes for the waves to bounce back. If a scientist sends light waves to four different objects in space, which of the following will take the longest to bounce the wave back to Earth? a star in the Milky Way Galaxy

a star in the Andromeda Galaxy

a planet in Earth's Solar System

a planet in another star system within the Milky Way Galaxy

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.
