Refrigerant 134a enters a tube at a rate of 0.07 kg/s as saturated liquid at 70 C and leaves the tube as saturated liquid as well at -8 C. It loses 10 kW of heat to the surroundings in the process. If the surroundings are at a temperature 10 C, find the total entropy generation in this process. Assume steady conditions
