The sound pressure level at a particular location in an underground carpark is lp_1. when a car starts it engine, the sound pressure level at the same point is lp_2. what would be the sound pressure level (in db) at that point due to the car engine only? lp_1 (db) = 68; lp_2 (db) = 72.5;

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.
