The data listed below are claimed for power cycles operating between hot and cold reservoirs at 1000 K and 400 K, respectively. For each case determine whether such a cycle is in keeping with the first and second laws of thermodynamics. a. QH=300kJ, Wcycle =160kJ, QC=140kJ
b. QH=300kJ, Wcycle=180kJ, QC=120kJ
c. QH=300kJ, Wcycle=170kJ, QC=140kJ
d. QH=300kJ, Wcycle=200kJ, QC=100kJ .

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

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.
