A mechanical engineer has approached your boss with a design for a new device. The device is fed with 10 mol/min of nitrogen at 29.73 °C and 34 bar. The mechanical engineer claims that, when the device is operated in a room at 20°C, half of the entering N₂ leaves at 40°C and 1 bar and the other half leaves at 0°C and 1 bar. No work is done on or by the nitrogen. Knowing the natural superiority of chemical engineers, your boss has asked you to determine whether the design is feasible. You may assume that the Cp of N₂ is constant at 3.6R. (a) (b) (c) [ Determine the rate at which heat is expelled by the device. Determine rate of entropy production in the device. Does the device violate the second law?

You have a 3.00-liter container filled with N₂ at 25°C and 4.25 atm pressure connected to a 2.00-liter container filled with Ar at 25°C and 2.75 atm pressure. A stopcock connecting the containers is opened and the gases are allowed to equilibrate between the two containers. What is the final pressure (in atm) in the two containers if the temperature remains at 25°C? Assume ideal behavior.
1. Why is the following situation impossible? An apparatus is designed so that steam initially at T =1500C, P= 1.00 atm, and V = 0.500 m3 in a piston–cylinder apparatus undergoes a process in which (1) the volume remains constant and the pressure drops to 0.870 atm, followed by (2) an expansion in which the pressure remains constant and the volume increases to 1.00 m3, followed by (3) a return to the initial conditions. It is important that the pressure of the gas never fall below 0.850 atm so that the piston will support a delicate and very expensive part of the apparatus. Without such support, the delicate apparatus can be severely damaged and rendered useless. When the design is turned into a working prototype, it operates perfectly.
