As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at10 bar, 400 k expands at steady state through a valve to apressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. theair then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooledto a temperature of 295 k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kineticand potential energy effects can be neglected.(a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heatexchanger and enough of the local surroundings that theheat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k.(b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabaticturbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropyproduction, in kw/k? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

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.

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2
