Awell-insulated box loses heat to the ambient only through a single-pane glass window of area 1 m2 and thickness 0.5 em. the ambient medium is at 10°c, and the external heat transfer coefficient is 10 w/m2 • k. the interior of the box is maintained at 25°c and is well mixed, giving the window an inside surface temperature of 2soc. at $0.15/kw ·h (kilowatt-hour), what is the annual cost of maintaining this system

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.

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.

Carbon dioxide gas expands isotherm a turbine from 1 mpa, 500 k at 200 kpa. assuming the ideal gas model and neglecting the kinetic and potential energies, determine the change in entropy, heat transfer and work for each kilogram of co2.
