← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when water is sprayed into superheated steam?
A)Steam's total entropy will increase.✓
B)Steam's dryness fraction remains constant.
C)Isothermal expansion becomes less efficient.
D)Superheat temperature increases dramatically slower.
💡 Explanation
Spraying water increases the system's disorder because of condensation reducing superheat. This demonstrates the process of irreversible adiabatic mixing that increases entropy, therefore overall entropy increases, rather than dryness, temperature or expansion changes remaining static.
