Water vapor at 100 psi, 500 F and a velocity of 100 ft./sec enters a nozzle operating at steady sate and expands adiabatically to the exit, where the pressure is 40 psia. If the isentropic nozzle efficiency is 95%, determine for the nozzle,

(a) the exit velocity of the steam in ft./sec, and
(b) the amount of entropy produced in BTU/ lbm R.

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

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.

During a steady flow process, the change of energy with respect to time is zero. a)- true b)- false
