A 90-m^3 basement in a residence is contaminated with radon coming from the ground through the floor drains. The concentration of radon in the room is 1.5 Bq/L under steady-state conditions. The room behaves as a CSTR, and the decay of radon is a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 2.09 x 10^-6 s^-1. If the source of radon is closed off, and the room is vented with radon-free air at a rate of 0.14 m^3/s. Required:
How long will it take to lower the radon concentration to an acceptable level of 0.15 Bq/L?

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.

Asolid cylinder is concentric with a straight pipe. the cylinder is 0.5 m long and has an outside diameter of 8 cm. the pipe has an inside diameter of 8.5 cm. the annulus between the cylinder ad the pipe contains stationary oil. the oil has a specific gravity of 0.92 and a kinematic viscosity of 5.57 x 10-4 m2/s. most nearly, what is the force needed to move the cylinder along the pipe at a constant velocity of 1 m/s?
