The gas turbine cycle of a combined gas-steam power plant has a pressure ratio of 8. Air enters the compressor at 290 K and the turbine at 1400 K. The combustion gases leaving the gas turbine are used to heat the steam at 15 MPa to 450oC in heat exchanger. The combustion gases leave the heat exchanger at 2740C. Steam expands in a high pressure turbine to a pressure of 3 MPa and is reheated in the combustion chamber to 500oC before it expands in a low pressure turbine to 10 kPa. The mass flow rate of steam is 30 kg/s. Assuming all compression and expansion processes to be isentropic, determine:

a. The mass flow rate of air in the gas turbine cycle.
b. The rate of total heat input.
c. The thermal efficiency of the combined cycle.

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.
