Ten kilograms of water in a piston/cylinder arrangement exists at saturated liquid and vapor at 100 kPa with a quality of 50%. It is now heated so that the volume triples. The mass of the piston is such that a cylinder pressure of 200 kPa will float it.

(a) Find the final temperature and volume of the water.

(b) Find the work done by the system.

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.

An electrical motor raises a 50kg load at a construct velencity .calculate the power of the motor, if it takes 40sec to raise the load through a height of 24m(take g =9.8n/g)
