8. When supplying heated air for a building, one often chooses to mix in some fresh outside air with air that has been heated from the building as it passes through the furnace. An insulated mixing chamber is used to combine two streams of air to be used in a building. One stream of air, brought from the outside, enters at 2 kg/s, at a pressure of 120 kPa, and a temperature of 5oC. The second stream of air, coming from the building’s furnace, has a mass flow rate of 8 kg/s, a pressure of 120 kPa, and a temperature of 35oC. The combined stream is then delivered to the warm space at 120 kPa. Determine the rate of entropy generation for this mixing chamber.
