The properties of the air in the inlet section with A1 = 0.25ab m2 in a converging-diverging channel are given as U1 = 25a, b m/s, T1 = 3ab K, P1 = 13a, b kPa (absolute). Find the required cross-sectional area, pressure, temperature, velocity and mass flow rate to obtain sonic (Ma2=1.0) flow at the outlet. Calculate critical values of A*, U*, T*, P*.

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.

Thermal stresses are developed in a metal when its a) initial temperature is changed b) final temperature is changed c) density is changed d) thermal deformation is prevented e) expansion is prevented f) contraction is prevented

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux
