Two uninsulated, rigid tanks contain air. initially, tank a holds 0.45 kg of air at 800 k and tank b has 0.9 kg of air at 500 k. the initial pressure in each tank is 345 kpa. a valve in the line connecting the two tanks is opened and the contents are allowed to mix. eventually, the contents of the tanks come to equilibrium at the temperature of the surroundings, 289 k. assuming the ideal gas model, determine the amount of energy transfer by heat, in kj, and the final pressure, in kpa.

Acompressor receives the shaft work to decrease the pressure of the fluid. a)- true b)- false

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater

Describe one experiment in which the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of a totally amorphous thermoplastic material can be determined. show the relevant experimental results in a diagram which should be properly annotated with the two temperatures clearly marked. what is likely to happen to the curve in the diagram if the amorphous polymer is replaced by a thermosetting type?
