Consider a one-dimensional steady heat conduction process through a solid slab of thickness 0.1 m. The higher temperature side A has a surface temperature of 80 °C, and the heat transfer rate per unit area to low-temperature side B is 4.5 kW/m². The thermal conductivity of the slab is 15 W/m.K. The rate of entropy generation per unit area during the heat transfer process is ________ W/m².K (round off to 2 decimal places).

One $$kg$$ of an ideal gas (gas constant $$R=287$$ $$J/kg$$-$$K$$) undergoes an irreversible process from state- $${\rm I}$$ ( $$1$$ bar, $$300$$ $$K$$ ) to state-$$2$$ ( $$2$$ bar, $$300$$ $$K$$). The change in specific entropy $$\left( {{s_2} - {s_1}} \right)$$ of the gas (in $$J/kg$$.$$K$$) in the process is ____________

One kg of air ($${R = 287\,\,J/kg}$$-$$K$$) under goes irreversible process between equilibrium state $$1\,\,\left( {{{20}^ \circ }C,\,\,0.9\,\,{m^3}} \right)$$ and equilibrium state $$2\,\,\left( {{{20}^ \circ }C,\,\,0.6\,\,{m^3}} \right).$$ The change in entropy $${s_2} - {s_1}$$ (in $$J/kg$$-$$K$$) is _________

A closed system contains $$10$$ $$kg$$ of saturated liquid ammonia at $${10^ \circ }C.$$ Heat addition required to convert the entire liquid into saturated vapour at a constant pressure is $$16.2$$ $$MJ.$$ If the entropy of the saturated liquid is $$0.88$$ $$KJ/kg.K,$$ the entropy (in $$kJ/kg.K$$) of saturated vapour is __________
