Assume a factory releases a continuous flow of wastewater into a local stream, resulting in an in-stream carcinogen concentration of 0.72 mg/L just below the outfall. Suppose this carcinogen has an oral potency factor of 0.45 (mg/kg-day)-1 and that it is degradable with a reaction rate coefficient k of 0.23/day. To keep the problem simple, assume that the stream is uniform in cross section, flowing at the rate of 2 mph, and that there is no other sources or sinks for this carcinogen. At a distance of 150 miles downstream, a town uses this stream as is only source of water. Estimate the individual residential lifetime cancer risk caused by drinking this water.

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.
