A completely reversible air conditioner provides 34,000 Btu/h of cooling for a space maintained at 70°F while rejecting heat to the environmental air at 110°F. Calculate the rate at which the entropies of the two reservoirs change. The rate at which the entropies of the two reservoirs change is Btu/h·R. Does this air conditioner satisfy the increase of entropy principle?

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

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
