2) Operating a steady-state, a well insulated mixing chamber receives two input liquid streams of the same substance but with temperatures T1 and T2 and mass flow rates m ̇ 1 and m ̇ 2 respectively. The streams are mixed in the chamber, exiting as a single stream with T3 and m ̇ 3. Assuming the substance is incompressible with constant specific heat C, that potential energy, kinetic energy, and pressure changes are negligible, obtain an expression for

a) T3 in terms of T1, T2 and the ratio of the mass flow rates m ̇ 1/m ̇ 3.

b) the rate of entropy production per unit mass exiting the chamber in terms of C, T1/T2 and m ̇ 1/m ̇ 3.

c) For fixed values of C and T1/T2, determine the value for m ̇ 1/m ̇ 3 for which the rate of entropy production per unit mass out, σ ̇/m ̇3, is a maximum. (Hint start with an expression for σ ̇/m ̇3 as a function of m ̇ 1/m ̇ 3.)

NOTE: m * = M (Dot)

Air is separated into two product streams in a separator operating at steady state. One product stream is 98 mol% oxygen, and it contains 80% of the oxygen in the air fed to the column. The other product stream is mostly nitrogen. To a good approximation, air is 79 mol% nitrogen and 21 mol% oxygen. Calculate the quantity of air required, in tons/day, to produce 1 ton/day of the oxygen product. In addition, calculate the mol% nitrogen in the second...

A pump operating at steady state receives 1.5 kg/s of liquid water at 50oC, 1.5 MPa. The pressure of the water at the pump exit is 14 MPa. The magnitude of the work required by the pump is 25.2 kW. Stray heat transfer and changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible. Determine the work required by a reversible pump operating with the same conditions, in kW, and the isentropic pump efficiency.

It is required to design a synchronous sequential circuit that receives two input bit streams X and Y, and detects identical 4-bit sequences in both X and Y that are non-overlapping. The output Z is also a bit stream that produces a 1 only after detecting two identical 4-bit input sequences. Use an asynchronous reset input to reset the sequential circuit to its initial state.

Consider the mixing process shown in the figure. A mixing chamber initially contains 2 liters of a clear liquid. Clear liquid flows into the chamber at a rate of 10 liters per minute. A dye solution having a concentration of 0.75 kilograms per liter is injected into the mixing chamber at a constant rate of r liters per minute.
