Ion exchange is used to remove water hardness of a well water, which has a total hardness of 450 mg/L as CaCO3. The ion exchanger has leakage hardness of 15 mg/L as CaCO3. The percentage of water that is bypassed and blended is 30%. What is the final water hardness in the finished or treated water most nearly?

A. 105 mg/L as CaCO,
B. 110 mg/L as CaCO,
C. 125 mg/L as CaCO3
D. 150 mg/L as CaCO3

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.

Shafts are machine elements that are used to a) carry axial loads b) direct shear loads c) transmit power d) rotate at constant speed e) none of the above circular and square shafts subjected to the same torque under the same circum behave a) the same way b) almost the same way

For each of the following process: a) sketch the p-v diagram, b)sketch t-s diagram, c) sketch t-v diagram, d) sketch the boundary work on one of the diagrams (a, b or c) and e) sketch the reversible heat transfer on one of the diagrams (a, b or c): 1- isobaric process from compressed liquid to superheated vapor 2- isothermal process from compressed liquid to superheated vapor 3- isentropic process from compressed liquid to superheated vapor
