AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on evaluating the specific entropy of air in a thermodynamic context. The user has formulated an entropy balance equation involving multiple terms related to air and vapor. They express confusion about how to calculate the specific entropy due to the presence of three different terms for air. Clarification is sought on the methodology for evaluating these terms within the entropy balance. Understanding the specific entropy calculation is essential for accurate thermodynamic analysis.

I am just confused as to how to evaluate the term sa=specific entropy of air

I have reduced an entropy balance to the following:

\sigma=\dot{m_{a3}}(s_{a3}+\omega_3s_{v3})-\dot{m_{a2}}(s_{a2}+\omega_2s_{v2})-\dot{m_{a1}}(s_{a1}+\omega_1s_{v1})

I know how to evaluate sv and how to evaluate entropy differences but the air has three terms, so how can evaluate it?

Here's a schematic.
