Assume that you are trying to decide whether you should keep your presently owned car or purchase a new hybrid car. A new car will cost $30,000 and have annual operation and
maintenance costs of $1200 per year with a $10000 salvage value in 5 years (this is the estimated
economic service life). Your owned car has a resale value now of $6000; one year from now it
will be $4000, two years from now $3000, and 3 years from now $2200. Its operating cost is
expected to be $1900 this year, with costs increasing by $150 per year. You cannot use your
existent car longer than 3 more years. Assuming used cars like the one presently owned will
always be available, should you sell the presently owned car now, 1 year from now, 2 years from
now, or 3 years from now? Make the annual worth calculations at i=10% per year and show your
work.

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.
