It is necessary to select a metal alloy for an application that requires a yield strength of at least 345 mpa (50,000 psi) while maintaining a minimum ductility (%el) of 20%. if the metal may be cold worked, decide which of the following are candidates: copper, brass, and a 1040 steel.

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.

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false

Determine whether or not it is possible to compress air adiabatically from k to 140 kpa and 400 k. what is the entropy change during this process?
