Which outcome occurs when water is sprayed into superheated steam?

💡 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.
