Water is to be cooled by passing through the tube in an insulated cross-flow heat exchanger, while air flows over the outside surface of the tube. The water enters the 4.0-cm-diameter pipe with a velocity of 15 m/s, a temperature of 150°C, and a quality of 0.10. The water exits as a liquid at 100°C (This can be approximated as a saturated liquid at 100°C.) The air enters the heat exchanger at 15°C.

a. For a mass flow rate of the air of 5.0 kg/s, determine the air exit temperature. You may use specific heats for calculating the enthalpy changes of air. (neglect the differences in potential and kinetic energies).
b. Using your heat exchanger model to acquire the data, plot the exit temperature of the air as the air mass flow rate varies from 4.0 kg/s to 25 kg/s.

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.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
