Amass of 12 kg of air (ideal gas) at 230 kpa and 20°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 400 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the work input during this process r-0.287 kj/kg. k

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.
