Consider an isolated system (no heat, matter or work may be exchanged with the surroundings) consisting of three internal compartments A, B, and C, of equal volumes. The compartments are separated by partitions; each partition has a valve which may be opened remotely. Initially the central volume B is filled with a gas at 298K (25 deg C) and the outer two are evacuated. Consider the following two processes: (a) The valve to the A side is opened, the gas expands freely into compartment A, and the system comes to equilibrium. Then, the valve to the C side is opened and the system again comes to equilibrium.
(b) Both valves are opened simultaneously, the gas expands freely into both compartments and the system comes to its equilibrium.
Which of these processes produces more entropy?

Apiping systems consists of 6 m of 6-std type k and 12 m of 4-std type k, both drawn copper tubing. the system conveys ethylene glycol at a rate of 0.013 m3/s. the pressure drop across the system is to be calculated. there are two 90° elbows in the 6-in pipe, a reduction from the 6-in pipe to the 4-in pipe and four 90° elbows in the 4-in pipe. all fittings are soldered (same as flanged) and regular. the inlet and outlet of the system are at the same height.

Consider airflow over a flat plate of length l = 1.5 m under conditions for which transition occurs at le = 0.9 m based on the critical reynolds number, re,e = 5 x 10. evaluating the thermophysical properties of air at 400 k, determine the air velocity. (hint: use the tables to find the properties of air)
