A refrigeration engineer has designed a steady-flow, no work interaction device that separates a continuous flow of 100 lbm/hr of R-134a at 50 psia and 50% quality (State 1) at inlet into saturated vapor at 50 psia (State 2) and 40 lbm/hr saturated liquid at 50 psia (State 3) at exit. The device is not insulated and operates in an environment of 90 degree F. Evaluate whether the second law of thermodynamics is violated. Provide quantitative justification.
