Wind turbines help fill a need for renewable energy. Scientists discovered that certain whales have bumpy fins, which move through the water with less resistance than smooth fins. Engineers want to use this discovery to make more efficient blades for wind turbines. Identify a question that scientists would need to ask to address this problem.

Identify a question that engineers would need to ask to address this problem.

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.
