Fizeau’s method for measuring the speed of light using a rotating toothed wheel. The speed of rotation of the wheel controls what an observer sees. For example, if the light passing the opening at point A should return at the instant that tooth B had rotated into position to cover the return path, the light would not reach the observer. At a faster rate of rotation, the opening at point C could move into position to allow the reflected beam to reach the observer. Toothed Wheel Mirror A B C d Calculate the minimum angular speed of the wheel for light that passed through opening A to return through opening C to reach the observer. In an experiment to measure the speed of light using the apparatus of Fizeau, the distance between the toothed wheel and mirror was 10.72 km and the wheel had 671 notches. The experimentally determined value of c was 2.908 × 108 m/s . Answer in units of rad/s.

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.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
