Problem
A gas turbine operates at steady state. Hot compressed air enters the turbine, cooler expanded air leaves, and the turbine casing is well insulated so that any heat transfer with the surroundings is negligible. Classify the turbine as an open, closed, or isolated system and state whether the entropy within the turbine (control volume) is guaranteed to increase, decrease, remain constant, or cannot be predicted without additional information during steady operation. Briefly justify your answer.
