Note that the tables account for the change in specific heat with temperature which is not captured by the assumption of constant specific heats. 4, may show or not a calculation

EFD: 1, the boundary should include both gases Assumptions: Neglect KE and P E. Both gases can be modeled as ideal gases.

Removing the throttling valve would allow for further expansion of the steam which would result in greater work production and less entropy generation, therefore, it is recommended to remove the throttling valve. 8
