A5-m × 6-m × 8-m room is to be heated by an electrical resistance heater placed in a short duct in the room.

initially, the room is at 15°c, and the local atmospheric pressure is 98 kpa.

the room is losing heat steadily to the outside at a rate of 200 kj/min.

a 300-w fan circulates the air steadily through the duct and the electric heater at an average mass flow rate of 50 kg/min.

the duct can be assumed to be adiabatic, and there is no air leaking in or out of the room.

if it takes 13 min for the room air to reach an average temperature of 25°c, find

(a) the power rating of the electric heater

(b) the temperature rise that the air experiences each time it passes through the heater.

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.
